Nastia … won the silver medal in the uneven bars during Day 2 of the individual event finals Monday evening at the National Indoor Stadium. The gold medal went to He Kexin of China, who was first in the rotation and posted a score of 16.725. Liukin followed and her score was also 16.725, but tiebreaking procedures placed her second. Beth Tweddle had the highest start value at 7.8.

Too bad. I was cheeing for Jordan Jovtchev (in his 5th Olympics) but he finished 8th in the Final. Pinheiro Robrigues Danny attempted the impossible “Victorian Cross”.
Rings:
Dragalescu from Romania finished 4th on Vault nailing his awesome “Dragalescu” vault, but falling on the second vault — exactly the same thing he did in Athens. This means he will come away from Beijing with no medals at all. Perhaps the last “comeback” we will see from the dominant Floor / Vault man of this decade.
Men’s Vault:
Congratulations to Leszek who was not even allowed to compete in 2004 though he was then, as he is today, the #1 vaulter in the world. (Form is not great, however.)
