Bronze!
USA Gymnastics team got the Bronze!!!! They were doing so good, we missed the vault and rings for USA but they showed Jonathan Horton, what he did on the vault. He pretty much stuck it. We didn't really see the parallel bars, but saw a replay. Jonathan Horton stuck that dismount, and I think Justin String stuck it too or close. Then they went to hight bar. Jonathan Horton was great and stuck the dismount, so did Justin Spring. Then on floor exercise Joey Hagerty whent out of bounds on a tumbling pass, the was standing by the out of bounds line and just lost his balance and stepped out of bounds. That was the first real mistake. Then Jonathan Horton was next, and he nailed it, sticking every tumbling pass. Justin Spring also did pretty good on the floor. Then the last rotation, pommel horse. First up Keven Tan, falls over on the pommel horse but stayed on. The score, 12. something, terrible. There went the silver medal. Then Raj Bhavsar whet and didn't do to well, so not a good score. Then Sasha Artemev was the last to go. Now they were just trying to win the bronze. Cause they might have been able to get the silver or at least be closer if they hadn't messed up. They needed him to hit. He did a great job under pressure. And they got the Bronze!!!! That is such a great thing, since they lost both Paul and Morgan Hamm! AND, they were all first time Olympians! There were other teams that could have won the Bronze, but they had mistakes. China had 3 men that were 3 time Olympians. China won the gold, and Japan won the silver.Great job team USA!!!!!!
