It was then all eyes on Team GB's Max Whitlock as he secured Britain's first medal in the men's all round Olympic gymnastics since 1908.
It was a nervous wait for Max after an incredible display on the floor left him with a score of 90.641. After watching his competitors in action, it was soon made clear he had a medal, the question was what colour would it be.
