SINGAPOREAN gymnast Jovi Loh was left clutching his knee in agony after a bars routine gone wrong.
Just two days after the world feared Brit Gabriel Langton broke his neck, Loh went down grabbing his knee after completing his parallel bars routine.

As soon as Loh clutched his injured knee, the TNT cameras quite rightly cut away from the action.
Just like with Langton, medical professionals rushed onto the scene to help the stricken athlete.
The 18-year-old, who has been making history all over the place this past year, injured his knee after crashing his double front half dismount.
He was not able to move and the competition came to a temporary halt.
The same happened on Friday when Langton missed the bars as he finished his routine and fell head first from about nine feet in the air.
Medics rushed onto the scene and there was concern the young Brit may have broken his neck.
He has now been released from hospital without ‘serious complications’ and seems to have narrowly avoided a life changing injury.
But at the time, TNT had to pull away from the action and the event was suspended while he was treated.
Britain went on to win a silver medal, something that will bring some solace to Langton.
Loh and Singapore have been performing well thus far, but this likely spells the end for the young man at the Commonwealth Games.
