[gymnastagirl141009]

I didn't know he was doing a one armed giant so when he did it I was like oh shit! He's done! Wow. He's so great.

[gymnast157dancer]

That part is so cool at 0:39 !!! :) Amazing!

[G36cFGN]

[PhenixJoe]

"And he was on a patch of glue!" LMAO, I love the BBC commentators. So much more energetic and positive than NBC coverage.

[chinghxd]

That stick and the clap and the teammates behind him brought a huge smile to my face

[acadian0]

@USAGymnast It is sad China getting more points in HB than USA. :/

[102210heart]

At 1:00 was that Shayla worley?

[Digitalman271]

I parkour and freerun. No idea how I ended up here, but that was freakin amazing.

[missjpace]

i actually just applauded. alone in my room. 

[LHSStuntman]

@missjpace Me too!!!

[jmeteora63]

[LMA629]

this routine is AMAZING!! and btw does anyone know if he's in the proactive commercials? i thought i saw him in one.

[shsvolleyball85]

@LMA629 Yes, he is. that's him. :)

[gymnastixgeek]

@LMA629 Yes he actually is in the proactive commercials! He's so darn cute too! :)

[elven678]

The triple back was AMAZING. He completed his second flip ABOVE THE BAR.

[leenalinz]

Justin Spring, you and the rest of the team are amazing!!!! I'll never forget watching this on tv in 2008. I'm pretty sure my family and I were jumping around like maniacs after that landing.

[coopesam]

What the hell o.O, doesn't even seem human.

[TheGymEffect]

one of my favorite moments in gymnastics at those olympics :)

[budichk]

Haha...you can hear Horton scream "YEAH" when Spring lands

[calus14]

pip pip cherio, he did a covax with a full twist, rofl the announcers are awsomely funny

[nikirififo]

Holy shit! That triple was so fierce, veeeery far from the high bar!

[pivotpro7873]

how far away was he from event finals?

[miketennis19ny]

He scored a 15.675 for this routine - had he scored that in qualifications he would have had the fifth highest score and made it into event finals. He scored 15.375 and just missed qualifying.

[miketennis19ny]

I've checked a hundred times, and i cannot find one high bar routine at these olympics that recieved better execution scores than this... I remember watching this live and freaking out!

[hartlj90]

@miketennis19ny What was his execution score ??

[miketennis19ny]

@hartlj90 His execution score was 9.375. Huge number considering how many little deductions the judges can nickel-and-dime the gymnasts with on this event. He might not have the best natural form but Justin gains a lot of that back in amplitude, as we see with the release moves here. People are free to disagree with this, but i think he does the Cassina better than Cassina does.

[CassidyMcComb2010]

@miketennis19ny

what was the execution score?

[miketennis19ny]

@CassidyMcComb2010 9.375

[XtremeTkatchev]

@miketennis19ny I would have thought that kohei Uchimura beat him on that

[londongymgurl]

at 1:00 you can see shayla and her family
