Just to be clear - the gymnasts in the team event move from apparatus to apparatus during the competition so he wasn't sitting in the same spot the whole time. He had to walk from one chair to the next 5 times before he had to compete.

Re: Paris 2024. The Olympics topic
Gymnastics..lovely to see the top competitors, from different countries- Biles, Andrade..sitting next to each other and chatting...doesn't happen much in any other sport..,? Could it be because they are not really competing directly with each other..just doing their own thing..

Research shows the bronze medal winner is happier than the silver medal winner..obvious reasons but still, interesting!

I forget who was the comedian that made a sketch about that.
If you get silver, your thoughts are: "Man, a little more and I could have won gold!".
You win bronze, and your thoughts are: "Man, at least I got something!".
