I recently wrote about Diego Hypolito, the "underdog" from Rio, he came in 6th place in the floor event finals... here is a quote on the results from NBCOlympics.com
Hypolito and Dragulescu, who have won the last three world floor titles, were the heavy favorites to win gold. But Hypolito was way too short on his final landing and stumbled backward, ending his chances for a medal of any color. He looked shellshocked and his body shook as he sat on the sidelines. As he left the arena, someone he knew reached out to hug him and Hypolito's brave front crumbled. He buried his head in the woman's shoulder and sobbed.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry to all the Brazilians," Hypolito said.
