From InsideGymnastics.com (about the World Event finals for pommel horse):
"As pommel horse took center stage, it seemed all eyes were on the battle between reigning champ Stephen Nedoroscik (USA) who entered the competition second after Qualifying and fan favorite Rhys McCleneghan (IRL). Nedoroscik’s routine today wasn’t quite up to the best we’ve seen from him, and while he fought through the performance (6.2 D, 14.400 final score), it wasn’t enough to surpass McCleneghan (15.300) who earned one of the biggest cheers we’ve heard here for his difficult and extraordinary artistic routine to capture gold. Ahmad Abu Al Soud (14.866) and Harutyan Merdinyan (14.744) took silver and bronze. McGleneghan is the first Irish World champion in history while Abu Al Soud is the first gymnast from Jordan to ever make a World final, let alone medal."
