GYMNASTICS: Eye golden boy Louis Smith will be bidding to fill in the only blank remaining on his glittering CV this weekend.After adding an Olympic pommel horse medal to the World Championship gong he won in Stuttgart in 2007, Commonwealth champion Smith is aiming for European honours in Milan on Sunday.
Smith will today be attempting to qualify for the the pommel horse final after falling in Switzerland at his last attempt.
He said: "Falling off last time I was at the Europeans has only made me more determined to get the job done this time.
"When it happened it really shocked me and I still don't know why it happened but it just goes to show the fine line between success and failure in this sport.
"This time though I am determined not to make any mistakes as I have made no secret of my desire to add a European medal to my collection.
"I have finished on the podium at the Olympics and World Championships and it would be amazing to do the hat-trick.
"After doing well at the London Open recently I feel in the best shape I have done since I went to Beijing.
"The first few months after winning the bronze were a bit hectic but I am back in the routine now and feeling on top of my game."
