While I ironically (considering he is probably the best gymnast in history and has dominated the AA so long) dont think he is a Biles level lock this time around lets face it, Uchimura as the AA Champ in Rio is still atleast the 97% likely outcome. So if he wins as expected who will the AA silver and bronze medalists be. I think this battle might be even more exciting than the womens as there are so many worthy contenders, even some who could beat Uchimura if they did their best (but probably wont given their history), and people worthy of those spots, whereas the womens it is almost a best of a not so great lot of up and comers, people with weak events, or past their prime ex greats after Simone.
Deng Shudi is a major contender. He in fact is one of those who would most likely defeat Uchimura with a perfect competition as the team finals of the 2014 Worlds proves, but probably wont hit 6 for 6 as he never does, but if he comes relatively close might medal. He is China's first true top AAer in a long time.
Larudet is an exciting prospect and was a major suprise AA medalist at worlds. Can he repeat in Rio, with more people looking at him.
Max Whitlock will have huge expectations from back home in Britian to bring home an AA medal. He is one of my personal favorites.
The most talented gymnast in the world today might be Oleg Vernyayev. He even more than Deng could really challenge and even defeat Kohei with a perfect competition. Which probably wont happen, but if he can limit his mistakes to one fall or less he has a great shot of an AA medal, which I would love to see for him. One of my bigtime favorites.
Sam Mikaluk isnt really capable of challenge Kohei at all even with a perfect competition, but if he hit 6 for 6 (another that is rare for) and some of the more talented gymnasts made mistakes he could sneak in for an AA medal. He was a miss on high bar away from an AA silver back in 2013. Examining his D scores, and realistic potential scores, he is competitive enough he could sneak in with a rare all hit competition and mistakes by others.
I will leave an option for a 2nd Japanese as I am not even sure which they will use for the AA, but depending which they do there are a couple other possible AA medalists.
