To watch the Men's Team Final I stayed up until 3:30am in the morning, woke up before 6am and it's still Tuesday morning...

Congratulations to the top 3 countries!

China was stable as usual. Their preliminary round was as desastrous as Japan two days before, but they did regroup themselves and coped with the pressure very well. That's what makes a champion.
Glad and relieved Japan did not give up until the last second of it, in spite of injuries and so many unexpected mistakes.

But the true Winner of the night is the Great Britain!

No doubt. Team GBR, you guys were just glorious!

Very very very sad for Ukraina.

it was so heartbreaking to see thier joys, excitements and heavenly smiles turn into such disapointments...
I know almost nothing about scoring system in Gymnastics, but I have to wonder if the inquiry/appeal had not been from such power houses in gymnastics, e.g. China or Japan, and if it had not been for the world's best gymnast like Uchimura, who is the reigning 3-time world champion btw, the appeal might not have been accepted.
It is a judged sport after all. We are to have mysterious/inconprehensible scores sometimes. Just like figure skating. It happens everywhere with Judo at this Olympics, too.

I sincerely hope judges/refrees will be more accurate, precise and resolute at the first and every opportunity upon judging/scoring. Especially during the events like the OLYMPIC GAMES. And for the sake of all the world's best athletes.
