Berki thwarts Smith's gold medal dream


LONDON - Hungary's Krisztian Berki won the men's pommel horse final on Sunday, preventing Louis Smith from claiming Britain's first ever artistic gymnastics gold by the finest of margins. Berki and Smith finished on the same score -- 16.066 points -- but Berki was awarded the gold medal as his execution score of 9.166 was 0.100 points higher than Smith's. "I'm very happy, but I have no idea what happened," said Berki. "Maybe tomorrow I will realise that I won. When I saw Louis Smith's performance, I thought that he could win, because it was quite a strong exercise."
