Louis Smith Appreciation Thread (3)

Hi everyone, Many thanks for keeping this thread going. All links to photos and articles greatly appreciated. Sx

Just saw Louis' performance on the pommel horse at Commonwealth Games. Great comeback!

Brilliant to see Louis in such great form earlier. What a comeback from him. I should really be routing for Scotland but was kinda much more cheering for Louis... OOPS!

:p

Wow wow wow - he's back!!!! That was fantastic, soooo polished.

I agree Daisy that he seems very relaxed without the pressure of the Olympics. Loved his wink to me (okay, to the camera) when his score came up ;-)

As Sophie says, thanks for keeping the thread going

Your priorities are quite correct, Dilly!

Hey guys! *waves in excitement*

Louis' routine looked so effortless!! And of course, he intends to up the difficulty for the final! Can. Not. Wait!! And only 0:033 points behind Max Whitlock with just 6 months of serious training!! :eek: I can't help but think that if he had started sooner, he would have been beating everybody out there today!! :cool:

Lol, Dilly! Ain't no shame in rooting for Louis! I'm sure his mates on the Scottish side will understand!

I happen to fancy the pants off of Dan Keatings myself!

daisyflower2012 · 29/07/14 - 14:16

YESSSSS!!! GOLD for Team England!! \o/

And Louis' PBar routine was just fab! :cool:*
And silver for Team Scotland too!! British Men's Gymnastics has come so far!! :eek:

Was sad to see Sam Oldham get injured!

Hope he'll be OK and still able to compete in the individual and all round.

Louis' good luck tweet for Luke Carson was sweet. A pity he fell from the PBars.

Some pics from today so far.

Oh, and thanks Lucy for posting the articles.

Did you see that today we got a wink AND a kiss?!

:p

lucy777 · 29/07/14 - 14:52

What a result!!!! Loved Louis on the p bars but poor Sam

although he tweeted a few minutes ago so I guess he's okay. The last tweet from Luke was heartbreaking

Thanks for the pics Daisy

& I did indeed notice our wink & kiss :cool: Trust Louis to post a selfie during the competition!!

I'm very pleased that Louis is back in gymnastics.

Hoping for a good result in the final.

KorkyTheCat · 29/07/14 - 18:07

Hello Heidi!

I echo your sentiments. The top podium awaits!! ;-):D

lucy777 · 29/07/14 - 20:19

@AlisonMitchell: Sam Oldham on crutches with left foot in a moon boot. Smith & Thomas helped him onto the podium to get his Team gold #Glasgow2014 gymnastics

Get well soon Sam.

daisyflower2012 · 29/07/14 - 21:45

Here are pictures of them helping him! I guess this means Sam's done for this competition?

I hope it's not too serious and he'll be good in time for Worlds!

Great pics Daisy.

Do you think he's got a taste for Rio or will it depend on the pommel finals? Massive competition in Matt..

Lindy_Loue · 29/07/14 - 23:24

Hi all

Hope you don't mind me popping back after all this time

Just had to share how fab, fab, fab it is to see Louis in competitive gymnastics again

Fingers crossed for the rest of the week!

Hello Lindy!

Yes, it's been so good, except for poor Lukey and Sam.

None of us knows what the future has in store of course but it's certainly looking promising for Lou (and Max).

Sorry to quote myself but can't believe I wrote Matt & not Max

I blame the school holidays!

Hi Lindy - where have you been!? X
