Live Blogging Men's Olympic Trials

-There's no way Orozco and Leyva won't make it.
-Why did Tim say the scores from nationals carry over to the trials??
-Is John Orozco adopted? Anyway it was very sweet that he worked at the gym and then gave his parents the money he earned to pay the mortgage. Soooooooo sad but I'm glad he is probably going to the Olympics and getting out of poverty.
-Jonathan Horton in third. I hope he makes it back to the Olympics! I think he's the only gymnast from '08 going for London 2012.
-Andrea says Jonathan got all the guys to wear the same uniform so they can show unity and be a "proud team."
-Impressive skills but Bart Conner was better and also hotter than all these guys. And remember his press to handstand with both his hands on one of the parallel bars? They don't do stuff like that anymore.
-Good pom routine from Sam, except for one very struggled handstand
-Steve's triple back dismount is amazing! Remember when they very badly edited Jordyn Randall doing a triple back dismount off uneven bars for Make It Or Break It? Haha #notpossible
Tim: "This kid, I don't know how he does this, he's just got special ninja powers" Okay Tim.
-Tim just said Jake's fall from the horse "doesn't mean anything" WRONG if someone gets hurt they might have to use him! So while he's not planning on competing horse, he may end up having to, so it still factors in a bit.
-Leyva was absolutely hilarious sitting completely under his towel.
-I DO NOT understand this new scoring system. If someone does a practically flawless routine they usually receive AT LEAST 8 tenths in deductions! WTF! In the old scoring system, a routine like that would get only one or two tenths off.
-Mistake from Horton on high bar kills his score. I hope he still makes the team! His flips are amazing.
-I cannot wait to see who makes this team!
