What is going on?! Is it the color of the mat throwing them off. They're not often white/beige.

 

[onodian]

What the fuck did I just watch

it's like beam! but higher!

 

[Puffin]

Zhang will medal

It’s the same mats they’ve been using all week?

 

[tempest]

6 of 8 falls? WTF

 

[carlomkt]

It's 12:20 am here--I think I should go to bed. I'd just watch Simone's FX greatness tomorrow.

 

[Puffin]

I don't think the Columbians can believe it

 

[tempest]

Colombia was ONE step from a gold

Nah stick it out another 50-60 minutes

 

[tempest]

if your heart can take it! I'm not sure if mine can

 

[arabiandoublefront]

So has anyone won an Olympic high bar medal with a fall before?

 

[Rich]

great olympics for OKA

 

[onodian]

Yeah, I didn't love it but I'm thinking widen participation thoughts.

He's an amazing gymnast and yes he's not the cleaner but he does insane connections, and he's 17. Y'all take your judgy criticisms somewhere else. Like women's fx now

 

[Angelika]

I don't know if I can watch the FX final - someone is sure to fall off the podium at this rate!

 

[Franglemand]

Everyone go home and get some sleep, then do the final again next week? This high bar final might be worse to watch that the beam final. At least I could regroup after the falls on beam, the falls on the dismount for high bar are just shattering!

 

[MaryClare]

So, so happy for Tang!!! The moment he realised he’d got bronze was amazing

 

[tempest]

I do not believe so

 

[Hatsumomo]

Well I’m happy for the medalists, especially Colombia and Taiwan. Oka has been cleaning up here.

I can't. I need for this to end. It will be at least a month before I want to see any more gymnastics.

HB seems to have a lot of the gold medalists that were the AA champ as well... Nemov in 00(he won his tiebreaker), Hamm in 04(I know he lost the tie but he scored the same as the gold medalist), 21 and 24

HB has a lot of ties as well for the gold
