Men struggle but judges are the big failures


THE men’s artistic gymnasts fell far short of what was expected of them with even Jeremiah Loy Phay Xiang, the most seasoned campaigner among all four gymnasts in the team, failing to win any medal.

The 22-year-old had been earmarked to win at least a medal, especially in his favourite event the pommel horse, but mistakes in some routines saw him coming home empty-handed.
