Chinese Gymnasts Win Two More Golds in Horse, Floor

China gets gold on pommel horse

China has made it 4-for-4 in men's gymnastics, with world champion Xiao Qin winning the pommel horse gold medal.

Even though he was off his form and was hardly overwhelming, his 15.875 easily beat the eight-man field Sunday night.

Filip Ude of Croatia won the silver. His 15.725 score tied with Britain's Louis Smith, but Ude won the tiebreaker for Croatia's first gymnastics medal. All-around winner Yang Wei of China was fourth.

Ude went last and seemed about to challenge Xiao until he hit the horse with his leg and got a bit out of control toward the end of his routine. He held on to it enough for silver.

China has won the men's team, the all-around with Yang, the pommel horse and the floor exercise. Earlier Sunday, Zou Kai won on floor.

The Chinese men can't lose in Olympic gymnastics. Zou Kai, a gold medalist in the men's team event, won the floor exercise Sunday night, giving China three wins in as many attempts.

Gervasio Deferr of Spain took the silver with a powerful series of somersaults and twists, then threw kisses to the crowd. Russia's Anton Golotsutskov got the bronze.

World champion Diego Hypolito of Brazil seemed headed for a medal until he fell on the landing of his final pass. Hypolito then sat nearly in tears, shaking his head back and forth.

Three-time world champ Marian Dragulescu of Romania fell on his second tumbling pass.
