John Orozco

Yesterday, I got to see the Men's Gymnastics Individual All-Around.  It was such a great competition to see - and the arena was amazing!

The 'megatron' in the middle of the arena that shows score, close-ups, and replays for both the audience as well as the competitors.

John Orozco's (USA) floor routine for the individual all-around competition.  If you can hear me during the video, I am realizing that this guy is in Gym Class Heroes' music video for the song 'The Fighter'.

Because it was the 'individual all-around' competition, the gymnasts were split into groups that performed on different apparatus at the same time.  Then they were all rotate - the crowd would clap along during each rotation.
