Albyazin shhhhaaaakkkyyyy on HB

Fall on vault for Boy of Germany and he is possibly injured.

He's been injured all season. Sucks to be so out of form in the Olympic season.

[Loves_Shizuka]

The Germans look so depressed already

[Loves_Shizuka]

Christine Still has been telling us Romania are "rebuilding" for about 12 years now

[Buzz]

Look like Boy is going to continue.

[love_skate2011]

are we talking about Phillip Boy here ?
isnt he the star of German men gymnastics

[Allskate]

It's getting ridiculous - the tennis was half empty. It's causing

I don't get it. There are plenty of tennis fans around London. Are the tickets just too outrageously expensive? If I were in London and could get tickets, I'd be at the gymnastics competition in a heartbeat.

[Loves_Shizuka]

^Yes Philipp Boy ... and yes he's their star - along with Hambuechen (and they don't get along)

No, it is VIP seats. Seats given to sponsors and VIPs that don't turn up.

It is the same every Olympics and every Worlds at figure skating. Have all of you never noticed that before? It always pisses me off that the best seats cannot be bought.

It's not that people don't want to go - of course they want tickets - it's just there aren't any left (apparently) because SO MANY were allocated to "VIPS" who clearly don't give a shit. Or so is the story.

Still, there are so many unallocated seats, some in random spots, that it really is Yet I keep checking the website and everything is sold out!

The Russians are very bad for my nerves, but Denis does well.

[ioana]

Flavius Koczi might just sneak into the VT final -5th place now with a 15.949 average (awful landing on his second vault, but eh well)

[Loves_Shizuka]

Love Nguyen's PB dismount.

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

I'd love for the Chinese men not to make team finals. I know it's not likely to happen, but I can still hope.

They used to be so gorgeous with the best form and everything, but now (with the exception of Chen Yibing) they're so sloppy and just, not nice to watch.

[Braulio]

Nguyen goes into 5th at Parallel Bars, he will be in the final

Ablyazin got 0.3 deduction but still qualifies to the floor final I think

Zou Kai is on the verge of not qualifying in the High Bar, I hope 3 more guys knock him out

I can't keep track of the new rules. What are the rules this time for how many teams will qualify? Is it the same for both men and women? And do the qualifying scores carry over or is it a fresh slate once a team makes the final?

[Buzz]

The Ukrainians are looking good!

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

You and me both.

It's a fresh slate but I can't remember now how many qualify.

[Loves_Shizuka]

Top 8 teams after today go through to the final on Monday.

Top 24 individuals go through to the All Around (two maximum per country)

Top 8 individuals on each apparatus go through to the event finals (Again, two max per country)

Same for men/women.
