John Orozco may have been eighth in qualifying on Saturday for the pommel horse but he stepped up when it mattered. A 15.066 from Orozco was enough to get him second place in the Rio Test Event on Monday. His second place finish was matched later in the day when Jacob Dalton placed second in the vault after averaging a 14.853.

Orozco was back in competition later in the day on the parallel bars but only scored a 15.433 and finished fifth, 0.3 back of the second place finisher. He then bounced back with his second top-three of the day as he finished third in the horizontal bar with a 15.366.

The artistic gymnastics competition might be finished but the trampoline competition is about to begin. Logan Dooley and Jeffrey Gluckstein will be competing for the US on the men’s side while Charlotte Drury is in the women’s field. All will be trying to get the US a spot in the Olympics as they have yet to qualify. On the men’s side the top six qualify while it’s the top seven for the women. The entire trampoline event is held on Tuesday.
