Teenage gymnast goes after first gold

Male gymnast Yang Hak-seon, the reigning world champion in vault, will try to claim the first gymnastics gold for Korea on Monday. At 19, he is so technically advanced already that he has a new move named after him by the International Gymnastics Federation.

Wrestler Jung Ji-hyun will seek his second Olympic gold in the Greco-Roman 60-kilogram division. He won the gold in 2004, but was knocked out of the quarters in 2008.

Below are the medal standings for the top 10 countries at the London Olympics as of Sunday.
