Is Gymnastics Among the Most Undervalued Team GB Sports at the Olympics?

In a week where the UK sports headlines have been dominated by the lavish spending of Premier League football clubs Manchester Untied and Manchester City, gymnastics went some way to stealing the limelight, if only for a moment at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on Tuesday.

As the women's team event drew to a close, we were treated to some truly phenomenal displays, notably from USA's Simone Biles. It was the American's stunning floor routine to close out the event that wrote the headlines, sealing her country gold, with Russia and China coming in second and third, respectively.
