He Kexin, who recently scored a 17.00 on bars at the Italian Grand Prix, was subpar here, with a near fall on the low bar and a score of "only" 16.25.
Other highlights included Diego Hypolito's floor gold for Brazil, with a stuck Arabian double dismount (16.125), and Thomas Bouhail's stuck Dragulescu (handspring double front half) vault. Bouhail's vault was so strong that he took gold, even with a less spectacular other vault (Tsukahara double pike, hand down -- 16.225 average).
There are some videos of women's floor on Youtube, and I'll add more video links if I find them. Many more scores and skills can be found on the IG website:

I am so impressed with China. Even with watered down routines their athletes are looking fantastic for this time of the year. Thanks for the update.
I think you should be DQ’d on vault if you fall–this trend of falling and still being rewarded with a medal is the worst!
