Horizontal Bar, Men

Date	29 July – 4 August 1984
Status	Olympic
Location	Edwin W. Pauley Pavilion, Los Angeles, California
Participants	71 from 19 countries

There was a slight change in the format of the apparatus events in 1984 as eight gymnasts (previously six) qualified for the final round from the team qualifying, still with a maximum of two gymnasts per team. The gold medal in this event was historic as Japan’s Shinji Morisue won with a perfect 20.0, scoring two perfect 10s in the team qualifying, and then a perfect 10 in the final round. At the modern Games (post-WW2), the only other times this happened on the 20-point scoring system was by Romania’s Nadia Comăneci in 1976 on uneven bars, and Romania’s Daniela Silivaş in 1988 on the uneven bars, making Morisue the only man to accomplish this at the Olympic Games. Morisue was trailed by China’s Tong Fei and Koji Gushiken, Morisue’s teammate.
