Notes
The all-around ended in a very dramatic minute, with Russian Alexei Nemov on the floor and current world champion Li Xiaoshuang (China) on the high bar at the exact same time. Going into this last event, Nemov held the lead by a margin of only .038 points. Li executed an outstanding routine, dismounting with a beautiful double twisting double layout, drilled into the mats for a stuck landing, to score 9.787. Nemov was carefully executing an equally flawless routine, but on his last tumbling pass, landed low on his double layout and took a hop forward. His score was a 9.70. A wonderfully delighted Li accepted his gold medal, making history as the first Olympic champion from China. Third-place was Vitaly Scherbo, the defending Olympic all-around champion from 1992.
The Americans experieced their greatest success in recent years, placing two athletes among the top ten. John Roethlisberger lead the way with a 7th place finish, while Blaine Wilson edged into 10th place with his last routine on pommel horse. John Macready bungled a low pass on floor, scoring only 8.525 on that routine, but was remarkably consistent elsewhere (scores ranging from 9.487 to 9.562) to place 29th.
