Great Britain's Louis Smith just tweeted about his "mad day" after getting the silver medal in the pommel horse.

"Wow crazyyyyy !! Wat a mad day loved the support at north greenwich arena all though it was mad scary. Love all my fans and friends xxx."

The 23-year-old was beaten to the gold Sunday by Hungary's Krisztian Berki, but only by a whisker.

He and Berki both finished with the same 16.066 score, but Berki got the gold because his execution score of 9.166 was a mere .10 points better.
