That guy NAILED the landing. Not a hugely difficult routine but good job.

I used to love flipping on that thing...but I was small and if I did it now I would probably pass out.

US drops to the Bronze medal position but still way better then anyone thought they would do.

#2 from China is up on the High Bar...they'd have to get an incomplete to lose the top spot now.

Yeah...The hometown crowd is really loving this one.
