LONDON – China's Deng Linlin won the gold on balance beam Tuesday, upstaging teammate and reigning world champion Sui Lu. It was the second gold of the day for the Chinese, following Feng Zhe's title on parallel bars. Epke Zonderland won gold on high bar, the first medal for a Dutch man and only the second Olympic medal overall for the Netherlands. American Aly Raisman took a gold on floor exercise, about an hour after getting a bronze on balance beam. She won the balance beam bronze after questioning her score when she initially finished fourth. Judges added an extra tenth to her routine's difficulty after reviewing it. That gave her and Catalina Ponor identical scores of 15.066, but Raisman got the bronze and Ponor got bumped because the American's execution score was higher. Gabby Douglas, meanwhile, failed to add to her medal haul, finishing seventh on balance beam after a fall. Still, she'll leave the London Olympics with two gold medals, including the all-around title, gymnastics' biggest prize. On parallel bars, Feng gave the Chinese men their third gymnastics gold medal, following the team competition and Zou Kai's win on floor exercise. Feng flashed a thumbs-up as he walked out for the medals ceremony, and planted a big kiss on the gold after he got it. Germany's Marcel Nguyen was second, adding another silver to his one from the men's all-around. Hamilton Sabot of France won the bronze.— AP
