All-around champion Nastia Liukin took bronze, giving the United States two medals in the event and its women's team five total medals.

Johnson, who also won silver in the all-around, had the unwanted chore of going first. Her performance lacked the usual flair, but a series of somersaults and twists at the end drew a roar from the crowd - and the mark she seemed to need to hold on: 15.50.

But Izbasa, the final competitor, wowed the judges, who gave her a 15.65. Izbasa also helped her country get bronze in the team finals. -- AP
