Pommel Horse, Men

Date	14 – 22 August 2004
Status	Olympic
Location	Olympiako Kleisto Gymnastirio, Olympiako Athletiko Kentro Athinon Spiros Loues, Maroussi
Participants	81 from 30 countries

The format was the same as it had been from 1984-2000, with eight gymnasts advancing from the team all-around, but no more than two per nation. Defending gold medalist Marius Urzică of Romania, and the 2003 co-World Champions, Teng Haibin of China and Takehiro Kashima of Japan were expected to contend for the gold medal, and the three favorites all made it through the qualifying round. Urzică went first and scored a very high 9.825 to move ahead. He was followed by Kashima whose 9.787 placed him second at the time, but Teng was the last performer in the final, and his 9.837 brought him the gold medal, as the podium was filled as expected.
