The 25-year-old had torn the ACL in the knee during a floor routine at the men’s gymnastics qualifications, scoring just a 1.366 after he was unable to finish. It was hard to watch German gymnast Andreas Toba break down in tears soon after he injured his right knee at the Rio Olympics on Saturday. After finishing the routine, Toba limped off the floor while he fought back tears and hugged his teammates. But for the final event of the day ― the pommel horse, an arm-based routine ― Toba decided to fight through the pain for his team, which was right on the bubble of making the finals of the men’s gymnastics team competition. The judges awarded him a score of 14.233, good enough for him to lace 32nd out of the 71 classified gymnasts.
