The octogenarian ruler told a state-run newspaper soon after his parliamentary appearance that South African?brokered talks had broken down and his party would again form the government, not the MDC, which he has sworn will never take power.

Chellsie Memmel, who limited her competition to the uneven bars after hurting her ankle, revealed after the team event that she had been competing - and landing - on a broken bone. "Right after I got the X-ray, I got the diagnosis and had a little breakdown," she told TIME. "And the reason was that I didn't want to be asked off the team.
