It would take a ZERO on one routine for China to lose. David is right.

It would take a ZERO on one routine for China to lose.

China can have 4 or 5 falls, yet still score higher than the US. Seriously, look at their lineup - Yang Wei, Li Xiaopeng, Xiao Qin, Chen Yibin, Zou Kai, and Huang Xu, it is unbeatable.

It's a no-brainer. We may not be China, but we are deep and a large country. And have the history of team work from NCAAs. We are in this thing. We go 100% for team. Apparatus finals is que sera sera. We go for the team score. It’s a no-brainer. We may not be China, but we are deep and a large country. And have the history of team work from NCAAs.

Two from one nation can qualify for AA Finals. That's perhaps the "easiest" medal right now. The USA should choose 2 All-Arounders, but not three. Right.

That's three guys doing three events each. If each guy did a fourth event in qualification they'd have had to get that 15.72 average on their best three events and a 13.5 average on their fourth event to to match their fourth place qualifying spot. They could still select three AAs and still use this strategy with no problem. They should probably just go with two AAs though if they really want to concentrate on doing the absolute best they can in team final.
