Dutch Gymnast Wows With Horizontal Bar Routine

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Dutch gymnast Epke Zonderland's knockout horizontal bar routine.

The gold medal-winning performance has us questioning whether Zonderland is part-man, part-Peter Pan, as he acrobatically twirls through the air.

What do you think: Best gymnastics routine you've seen this summer?
