Horizontal Bar, Men

Date	20 – 29 July 1996
Status	Olympic
Location	Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia
Participants	105 from 31 countries

As in 1992, eight gymnasts advanced to the final round based on the qualifying scores in the team all-around, with a maximum of two per nation, but the final placements were determined only by the score posted in the final round. Germany’s Andreas Wecker was a slight favorite, having won the 1995 World Championships and the European title in 1989 and 1992, and he had won the silver medal at Barcelona in 1992. He won the gold medal in Atlanta but with a relatively low-risk routine, although he performed it flawlessly. Silver went to Bulgarian Krasimir Dunev while the bronze was a three-way tie among China’s Ban Fin, Russia’s Aleksey Nemov, and Belarussian Vitaly Shcherbo.
