John Orozco and Colombian Jossimar Calvo both had strong days on Saturday in the men’s qualification round. Orozco qualified for three individual event finals while Calvo reached two himself. Their overall scores were quite similar with Calvo just topping Orozco 88.765 to 88.640. But neither were any match for Ukranian Oleg Verniaiev who put up a massive 92.107 and qualified for the final in five of the six individual events.

Jacob Dalton didn’t participate on every apparatus but did qualify for the final on the vault with the second highest score of the day. Orozco will be in the final for pommel horse (eighth highest), parallel bars (seventh highest), and horizontal bar (fourth highest).

The US doesn’t have any women competing in the artistic events this weekend in Rio so the next competition will be when Orozco and Dalton are in the individual finals on Monday.
