Paul Hall from Huntingdon Gym, external - who has worked with Olympic gymnast Louis Smith since he was a child - has been asked if he thought Louis was right to attempt the more difficult pommel routine.
He told us: "The margins were so close, he had to go all out.
"He tried to do a routine which is one of the most difficult in the world and it didn't quite come off."
Image source, Getty ImagesRebecca Tunney, external, who represented Team GB at London 2012 says he definitely was right to go for it. She said: "He was was going for broke because he knew that, if he pulled out the big routine, he stood a chance of bronze.
"It is a risk worth taking. Even if he didn't have the fall, they wouldn't have achieved the bronze anyway".

Former Melbourn Village College student, Dan Goodfellow, says he is "so happy with the result" after securing bronze in the men's 10m synchronised diving with Tom Daley at the Rio Olympics.
He told us: "The wait was so long. Tom always likes to look at the scores but I don't. I was so glad it said three not four".

Dan said: "He knows what to expect. As a mentor, he's been really good.

Louis Smith said it was "mentally tough" to wait until the end of the competition to take part in the pommel horse routine and he found it hard to "get in the zone".
Image source, Getty ImagesLouis fell from the horse midway through his routine, leading to a one point penalty. It meant that the men's team were unable to gain enough points to secure the bronze medal.
His coach at Huntingdon Gym, external, Paul Hall told us: "It was painful to watch. The highs and lows of sport, you know. I know what he was capable of - he wanted it so much".
Louis has also qualified for the individual final on Sunday, and Paul added: "I think he's going to prove as many people wrong as he can."
A Conservative MP who has long campaigned for improvements in the ambulance service, says the need to improve response times has been going on "for far too long".
Suffolk Coastal MP Therese Coffey, speaking after a health watchdog rated the East region's ambulance service as "requiring improvement" in a new report, external, said: "They keep talking about demand rising and I want to know where the demand is coming [from].
"That's the kind of thing we need to get into though I'll be honest, that should be their job, not necessarily the role of the MP to be pressing them on different areas."
Health watchdog the Care Quality Commission has rated the East region's ambulance service, external as "requiring improvement" in its latest report, external.
The report, published this morning, shows the East of England Ambulance Service Trust was inspected twice in April.
It says the service is under significant pressure and is failing to meet performance standards and targets for responding to 999 calls - an issue highlighted when a Newmarket Town footballer had to wait three hours for an ambulance to arrive at the weekend after he was injured on the pitch in Essex.
There are also recruitment issues, along with poor training of staff to deal more appropriately with patients suffering with dementia or mental health problems.
There is good news, however, when it comes to patient care, with it being rated in that area as "outstanding".
We'll bring you reaction to this shortly.

Dan Goodfellow's bronze in Rio in the 10m synchronised diving with partner Tom Daley was "unbelievable", his old coach said.

Image source, Getty ImagesDan began his training at Parkside Pool in Cambridge with coach Mark Holdsworth who said the pair gave him "goosebumps" and that last night was "unbelievable".
He said: "It's been a rocky road for Dan. To see my boy from Cambridge do that, I'm overwhelmed!".
His old school friends are proud too!

Spare a thought for Basildon's Max Whitlock, Benfleet's Brinn Bevan and the rest of Team GB's men's gymnastics team who came so close to a medal at Rio last night.
The Britons put in a strong all-round performance, however a pommel fall from Peterborough's Louis Smith left the team in fourth position.

Your son - who's been training hard for years - makes the Olympic podium in a thrilling contest. So you'd expect him to have equal billing with his dive partner on the newspaper front and back pages the next morning - right?
Wrong. In many, Dan Goodfellow has been completely cropped out in favour of Tom Daley in many cases ... and his mum Sharon isn't happy.
