Goodbye for now
So there’s plenty of action still to come on Friday.
First we all need to digest the magic we have just seen in the gymnastics. That was Olympic sport at it best from Simone Biles and her competitors.
We hope you enjoyed the coverage and can join us again soon.
For now, though – from me, Kevin Hand – it’s goodbye.

Talk turns to LA
Simone Biles will be 31 years of age by the time the Los Angeles Games come around in 2028. Surely Biles will push for it and the chance to go out on home soil.
