The crowd were hushed into silence as Cassina lay still for several seconds, staring at the ceiling, before two stunned Italian officials eventually ran to his side.
After being helped back on his feet, Cassina chalked his hands again, defiantly gripped his hands around the bar and completed his ambitious routine amid loud cheers from the fans.

 Pressure points - The Boston Globe
"It almost seemed like it was in a movie," said Hamm, after he'd pulled off a superb routine but lost the apparatus gold medal to Italy's Igor Cassina on a tiebreaker.
It worked well enough for Hamm to nail his signature three consecutive release moves and make a decent landing, good enough for a 9.812 that put him in the lead.
When Cassina pulled off a couple of stunning aerial maneuvers of his own, Hamm had to settle for silver.

As good as Hamm was, Cassina just flat out blew him away.
If Hamm's routine was worth 9.812, Cassina's should have been about a 13, even after the deduction.
Wouldn't it have been more exciting to see Hamm, Cassina and the other gymnasts challenging each other with ever more difficult maneuvers than to just go out there and do their own thing and leave everything up to the judges?

Some noteably casualties included Olympic high bar champion Igor Cassina who suffered rib bruising and after falling during that rotation Saturday; Olympic rings title-holder Dimosthenis Tampakos of Greece and double Olympic vault winner Gervasio Deferr of Spain, who all failed to advance in their disciplines.
Italian Cassina blamed the new system of marking being used for the first time at worlds for pushing competitors to attempt more difficult and dangerous programmes.
And the qualifiers were riddled with blunders notably by Korea, led by Olympic all-around silver and bronze medallists Kim Dae Eun and Yang Tae-Young, who both scraped into the all-around finals after being eliminated from the team event.

Non dimentichiamo poi che ha gareggiato in condizioni difficili, con pubblico inferocito per il punteggio dato a Nemov e gara ferma per quasi 10 minuti; ha dimostrato carattere e nervi saldi oltre che talento e abilità.
Ora sembra che voglia addirittura rendere ancora più difficile il "suo" movimento Cassina, quello che propone da quattro anni e nessun altro riesce ad eseguire.
Vuol dire che igor in quel momento era l'affermazione vivente della sua vittoria, dell'essere il migliore e del non ammettere repliche di chichessia.

Daggett noted Hamm felt “the entire world is against him” and Al Trautwig felt Hamm would say, “I hope they put someone in front of me so I don’t have to explain this.”
That happened when Cassina got the tie-breaking nod.
But it left a terrible judging mess that rivaled the double-gold figure skating pairs flap of 2002.
