As in 1984 eight gymnasts qualified for the final round from the team qualifying, with no more than two gymnasts per team allowed to advance to the finals. The total score consisted of 50% of the team qualifying scores, and the final round score from an optional routine on the apparatus. Three gymnasts were tied after the team qualifying โ Chinaโs Lou Yun, the 1987 World Champion and 1984 silver medalist; and Soviets Vladimir Artyomov and Sergey Kharkov. Kharkov had the highest score in the final round to win the gold medal, with Artyomov second. Lou won bronze, sharing it with Japanโs Yukio Iketani who tied Artyomov for the second highest score in the finals. Iketani would also win a silver medal in this event in 1992.
