LIVE BLOG from earlier today:

Danell Leyva, high bar: Yin kisses Danell on the head just before he gets set to go. It’s truly touching to watch the two of them interact. Liukin. Layout Kovacs (applause and oohs). Tak half to layout Tkatchev, very clean. Jam to pop to front stalder. STUCK double double layout. Danell’s Olympic dream is so close I bet he can taste it. He walks off the podium rather calmly, takes one wave, with Yin trailing jubilantly behind, celebrating as he does. 16.35.

Steven Legendre, vault: Dragulescu but hands down. He does not look happy with that. If he is going to make the Olympic team, it’s for this reason, and a miss on both vault and floor today for him does not bode well. 15.7.

John Orozco, vault: Nearly stuck front layout double full. Tiny little movement. 15.9, same as night one.

Sam’s not yet as complete an AA gymnast as are the two other guys standing on the podium.
