Sporno-rific gymnastics phenoms Danell Leyva, John Orozo (right) and Team USA have taken the early lead in gymnastics qualifications at the London Olympics. The USA men's team hopes to win their first gymnastics team gold medal since 1984.

Team Great Britain had the early lead after pommel horse hotness Louis Smith's near flawless routine. China has now slipped to fourth place after USA and Japan's routines, reports Reuters.

Going into the evening's final session, with Russia among the teams still to come, the U.S. led Britain by 2.922 points with Japan third. Consistent performances by Danell Leyva and John Orozco across the six apparatus gave the Americans, cheered on by enthusiastic, flag-waving fans at the North Greenwich Arena, the edge.

Scores are reset to zero in Monday's team final, for which the best eight teams qualify.

Leyva and Orozco are now ranked first and second, respectively. A few more sporno-tastic photos—if pint size and muscular is your "thing"—are AFTER THE JUMP ...

R20 faves and pint sized muscle hottness John Orozo (above) and Danell Leyva finished first and second at the U.S. Olympic gymnastics trials in San Jose over the weekend. Next stop: London 2012!

Nineteen-year-old Orozco is the 2012 Visa National Champion, Puerto Rican and a native of the Bronx, New York.

The nineteen-year-old Leyva is the USA All-Around champion and the 2011 World champion on the parallel bars. Leyva was born in Cuba and his mother and father—both former members of Cuba's national gymnastics team—later defected to America.
