Gymnastics Still Aren’t Over!
Here are some more results from the men and women’s individual events. In the men’s trampoline final, China came out ahead with two medals, gold and bronze. Silver went to Jason Burnett of Canada. In the men’s Horizontal Bar event, China took gold again with Kai Zou. From the United States, Jonathan Horton placed second and Germany won the bronze. China dominated the men’s events finishing with gold on the Parallel Bars. Korea placed in this event with silver and surprisingly the first I have heard from this country this year, Uzbekistan took bronze.
Now for the good news. American gymnastic dream team, Shawn Johnson and Nastia Luikin, placed first and second tonight in the Balance Beam event. Shawn won gold, Nastia took silver, and no surprise China rounded out the podium with bronze. We are proud of you girls!
