Horizontal Bar, Men

Date	18 – 24 September 1988
Status	Olympic
Location	Che-yuk-gwan, Ol-lim-pik Gong-won, Seoul
Participants	89 from 23 countries

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. After team qualifying the leaders were two Soviets, with Vladimir Artyomov leading Valery Lyukin, 19.90 to 19.85. But Lyukin had the top score in the final round and they ended up tying with 19.90 points and sharing the gold medal. The bronze medal was also shared, between East German Holger Behrendt and Romania’s Marius Gherman. Artyomov also won gold in Seoul in the all-around, the team event, and on the parallel bars.
