Diary of Olympiad-2008 and results

Goltsutskov appeared on the carpet the first of all eight participants in the final, and as a result he was ahead of such eminent rivals as the German Fabian Hambuchen, Japanese Kochi Ichimaru and Romanian Marian Draguleska.

In the middle of the distance, Anton even leaded, but the gymnast from China Kai Tsosov pushed Goltsutskov to the second place, and then the Spaniard Hervasio Deferre, who went out to speak the last, followed the example of the Chinese and removed Anton to the third step.

By the way, the Goltsutsk medal for the Russian team in sports gymnastics was the first in current games.

Men. Floor exercise

The DPRK gymnast Hon at Jeon won the "gold" of the Olympics in a support jump. The second place was taken by the German Oksana Chusovitina, who back in 1991 became the world champion of the USSR national team, and Bronze went to Chinese Chen Fei.

The Russian gymnast Anna Pavlova received 7.812 points for the first jump, but her second attempt was canceled, as she began to run up before a special green lantern was lit, giving a signal to the beginning of the performance.

Women. Vault

Chinese gymnast Qin Xiao became a champion in horseback exercises. The Silver Medal was deserved by Croat Philip Vude, and Louis Smith from the UK won Bronze.

Smith scored the same number of points, but silver went to Croat, because he showed this result after the British. We add that the Olympic champion in the absolute championship Chinese Wei Yang took fourth place.

Men. Horse

Romanian Sandra Raluk Rostis won free exercises. The second and third result was shown by the American Sean Johnson and Anastasia Lukin. Our Ekaterina Kramarenko and Anna Pavlova occupied the fifth and eighth places in this type of all -around, respectively. Kramarenko did not make gross mistakes, but lost to the rivals in the complexity of the program, and Pavlova allowed a number of shortcomings in the course of the program.
