Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge: Her best Olympic moments
The duchess has shown a particular interest in gymnastics throughout the Olympics U.S. gold-medalist Gabby Douglas tweeted that she had a chance to meet Princess Kate. She also watched the mens pommel horse competition with British gymnast Kristian Thomas.
Other contenders to watch include David Belyavskiy of Russia, second in qualifying; veteran Fabian Hambchen of Germany, third in qualifying; and British hope Kristian Thomas. Less than 1.1 points separated these top five gymnasts in qualifying, so a tight race should be expected.
"He's been a rock the last four years, and he really deserves that gold medal today," Britain's Kristian Thomas said. "It speaks for itself. I had no doubt he'd bring his 'A' game today and that's just what he did. That's the sign of a true champion."
