I think it's Jonathan Horton and they're performing out of their skulls right now.
We kinda got hosed a bit on those scores though. They nailed those last two routines on the high bar.
I can't wait to see what that one retired coach says for the US who they interviewed earlier today about the scoring. Because those are stellar routines.
I don't understand how China is busting out all these almost 17 scores...but USA does a more impressive high bar than any of the competing countries do and China will still score .5 points higher than the usa just BECAUSE they are China
I know there is the whole level of difficulty thing, but yes, I don't see how the final 2 routines on the high bar didn't score in the 16's.
They'll prolly do it tomorrow in the morning or replay it then. That guy was criticizing a few of the judges saying how theywere so biased in their scoring.
The Chinese have come so far in their men's gymnastics program, but have so far to go in giving props
The first two US men struggled on the pommel horse but the last one nailed his routine. The Chinese continue to pour it on for the gold, the US can't catch Japan for the silver. Don't know if it was good enough for the bronze. The German's still to come.

For the US, 2 of 3 pommel horse routines were not good. It could cost them a medal.
China is 1, Japan looks to be 2...

US should win the Bronze unless Germany pulls off something amazing...
They got it! Amazing considering they did it without their best two gymnasts...

USA wins Bronze, Japan silver, and China wins Gold. Germany's Pommel horse routines were so basic it looked like!
Very great for our Gymnastics team considering this is their 1st olympics for each member on that team!
