1. Yang Wei (CHN) is by far the best Gymnast in the world. He helped his team win gold in the team final recently and now he has his sights set on Individual gold. Yang has been unbeaten on the international stage since 2006. At the 2004 Athens Olympics he let the All Around title slip through his fingers and he doesn’t want a repeat of that. "Today when we got this team gold medal, I feel that I shared an awful lot of the burden so I will be in a relaxed mood to participate in the all-around event. I will try and get every single gold medal," added Yang. He has the best chance of standing on the podium after booking places in the finals of the pommel horse and rings.
2. Fabian Hambuchen (GER) is next in line as a favorite, but his recent slip up on the high bar, the apparatus where he is the defending world champion, has knocked him down a notch. "I missed the bar, it happened, I'm not going to think about it," Hambuechen said. "Now I have another chance." Usually after a gymnasts screws up he comes out even stronger next time, so don’t count this guy out. Germany finished fourth behind the U.S. in the team competition. Olympic Betting Odds at BetUS has Fabian Hambuchen at +300 to win gold.
8. Jonathan Horton (USA) put on a great showing at the Team Finals last night and he’s considered as a legitimate medal contender. As a team they took home a bronze medal. Horton knows he’s got stiff competition going up against Wei, he understands that if Yang doesn't make major mistakes, the gold medal will be out of his reach. "His start values are so high," he said. "But after that anything can happen." His chances of winning are based on Wei screwing up. Olympic Betting Odds at BetUS has Jonathan Horton at +1800 to win gold.
Other Notables: 3. Kim Dae Eun (KOR) +500 4. Kohei Uchimura (JPN) +700 5. Koki Sakamoto (+1500) 7. Chen Yibing (CHN) +1800
