Always tough when you lose the spot by such a small margin Apparently they initially thought he qualified but didn't realise that the Pan Am's qualifier still gets given points despite already technically qualifying so it would have been an extra punch to the gut.

Wait, you know his coach is famous, right? Zou Li Min even has a cool element on high bar named after him that many, many gymnasts have done. I had NO IDEA that he died, let alone that way. That's really sad.
