With two rotations left the chinese have taken the lead but have shot their wad as their best event, the vault, is over. They could pull this off with a little luck.

who knows, the Chinese might choke, they've got all the pressure. the US kids are feeling it. got to admire their enthusiasm.

Jim the kid, flat top red/blonde hair, we have who was last on the high bar was incredible. Let's see if they can hang in there for two more stations.

The potential for injury on some of these toys is profound....

No, not in Japan, he will live in shame and eventually commit hari kari.

Now the chinese that's a different story. I think there will be a lot of executions after the world leaves....:p
Every time someone messes up, we probably shouldn't, but say...add another to the execution list.


But yeah that was a very dangerous fall....lots of controversy once again in the gymnastics arena.
