Spring had the highest total score after five rotations, but was not competing on all six apparatus. Spring competed on the floor exercise for the first time since April and was pleased with his 15.200 on floor.

Very interesting commentary on IG:

(also good commentary there on the routines)

Covered the JF floor with AAI carpet and painted the bars with AAI symbol! lol Guess JF will be happy they go to those lengths to use the equipment when it looks like they have to use AAI for the sponsorship deals they must have...but not that they cover it up like that. Wow! lol

Leotards: All the girls wore the team red/violet team leos except Nastia Liukin wore a white leo and Shayla Worley a pink and white leo. Guess you don't have to wear the national team leos for Olympic Trials. Makes sense.

That's crazy! It's like mis-representation! Like you're in the stands thinking they're tumbling on an AAI floor or swinging on AAI bars when it's really Janssen-Fritsen. Since in Beijing it will be all JF equipment, it will be good to compete the Olympic Trials on them to have fewer variables, Martha Karolyi probably insisted on it, even though they had to go through all that. AAI is a sponsor - they're on the USA Gymnastics website, on the right side for the banner of the USA Olympic Trials.
