Kenzo did make the final (whew) and remains the favourite.
Oleg Verniaiev leads Olympic prelims
Oleg hit 6/6 🙂 to finish ahead of Uchimura, the first time that’s happened in any competition in YEARS.
Click PLAY or watch Oleg’s prelims leading P Bars on Twitter.
It’s sudden victory in the AA final, of course. I’d still call Uchimura the favourite.

full results
It was a rough meet. Most people expected a far higher HIT rate than we saw.
Toba, Aït Said with serious injuries. Behan completed the meet but left the arena in a wheelchair.
Bretschneider falls on his named skill
No Bretschneider in the H Bar Final. 😦
Epke should make it, however.

Germany is in BIG trouble as a team after Toba was injured on his first tumbling pass. 😦
Incredibly, Toba limped back on to the podium and completed a PH routine for 14.233. Fabian hasn’t been training Pommels.
Ri Se Gwang – Dragulescu pike
The favourite for Gold on Vault. His second vault was equally difficult, equally well done.

Scott Morgan – Floor
The only man crazy enough to punch front out of double layout.
Click PLAY or watch it on Facebook. Outside chance of qualifying for the Final.
Thanks Dorina.
Team Brazil rocked Olympic prelims
Following subdivision 1
1. Japan 269.294
2. Brazil 268.078
3. Netherlands 257.686
results
Brazil scored 8.501 points ahead of their 2015 Worlds total. They’ll easily qualify through to the Team final.
Though they competed only 3 gymnasts on Pommels, P Bars & H Bar, the team had no falls. It’s a best ever international team performance.
