Hey, did Shawn compete in uneven bars? If so, how did she do?


No, she barely missed qualifying, which is insane, because it's her worst event.

Beam. It happens 6:43pm Beijing time. Which means I will have another very early morning.

This has been such an exciting morning of Olympics for me!

The video of Feofanova's clearance looked good, and she was obviously happy with it.

Feofanova's clearance was on the Danish TV feed Bruce mentioned earlier. It was a great jump.
