    Team USA should be really proud of themselves, they had a very strong showing. But China owns gymnastics.

    I kinda wish the Chinese team would show the kind of emotions team USA shows. The robotic high fives gets old really fast.

    those Japanese are looking pretty sad with a silver. they should appreciate what they got. look at US, they are crazy over the bronze.

    I'm glad that the US gymnasts took a Bronze even though they weren't favored to medal but those guys sound like Douchebags especially Horton.

    What the hell does "Go swim in the River" mean?

    Yea you can see the pressure put on on the teams by the way they respond.

    Team USA is very happy with a bronze because they won't expected to even medal.

    The Chinese team was tearing up because of the amount of pressure put on them and the amount of hard work they had put in.

    Kudos to all the participants, I really gained a lot of respect for gymnasts from watching this event.

    I'm not taking anything away from his athletic ability. I would kill myself trying what he does. I just couldn't stand listening to him.

    Horton was solid all night long... he can sound however he wants.

    I've competed with Raj since I was 5-6 years old. I'm very proud to watch our boys medal despite losing our 2 best and most experienced gymnasts.

    Tonight brought me back to my childhood. I remember watching Mark Ringwald and Trent Dimas when I was 8-9.

    Good job USA and grats to China for being absolutely sick and taking it down.

    They won the gold last time. They set the bar. Anything less is a failure. I know I wouldn't be happy with the rockets losing in the 1st rd. But if the knicks lost in the 1st rd they'd be as happy as the us team winning bronze
