Brasil: Diego é Favorito

Bicampeão mundial no solo, Diego Hypólito entrou no Ginásio Nacional, em Pequim, vestindo o short de ginástica e o blusão da equipe brasileira.

Ótima pontuação garante Diego na final do solo na ginástica artística logo no primeiro dia de competição.

O brasileiro cumpriu o que havia anunciado no meio da semana e estreou na Olimpíada na prova do salto. O brasileiro recebeu a nota 16,100 em seu primeiro salto, e desistiu do segundo, poupando-se para a prova do solo.
