The New China News Agency reports that Li Xiaopeng will not do his best event, vault, at the Olymipcs. Li confirmed Sunday that he had been unable to perfect a second vault. Athletes who want to qualify for the vault finals must show two different vaults.
"It's dangerous to try in this situation," Li said. "I have to give up to avoid a recurring injury."
