Americans were shut out of medals for the first time since 1972. The highlights:
ALEXEI NEMOV: The Russian, who won the men's all-around, won the gold on the high bar. He also took bronze on the floor. Nemov won six medals in Sydney, matching his total from Atlanta. "I didn't not expect to perform so well," he said. "Everything went my way."
SVETLANA KHORKINA: The Russian added silver in the floor exercise to the gold she won in the uneven bars Sunday.
AMERICAN WOES: Blaine Wilson finished sixth in the vault final and Elise Ray was eighth in the balance beam. "You always come in expecting to win," Wilson said. "As an experience, it was not good, not bad. It was an experience." U.S. women's team coordinator Bela Karolyi did not stay for the last day of competition. "It's very normal for Bela," U.S. women's coach Kelli Hill said. "We don't think it's a big deal."
ALSO NOTABLE: Russian Yelena Zamolodchikova won the floor with an energetic routine that had the audience rocking. ... Spain's Gervasio Deferr won the men's vault. ... China's Xiaopeng Li won on the parallel bars and teammate Xuan Liu on the balance beam. ... Three nations -- Russia, Romania and China -- won 29 of the 42 medals.
