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.

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.

How do huge corporations like NBC make decisions. 🙂

terrible injury to Samir Aït-Saïd
I don’t want to watch the video. 😦
It was a compound fracture of his tibia/fibula. He will have surgery in Rio.
Recall Samir missed the 2012 Olympic Games because of a knee injury on Dragulescu at the European championships in Monptellier.
There’s too much incentive to throw dangerous vaults in both MAG & WAG. I blame FIG rules. 😦
Fabian Hambüchen spoke out to the media on this point after his teammate Toba was injured.
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.
