China defended its gold medal in the men's team gymnastics final, but the real story today was who finished second and third.
Japan’s Uchimura received a shockingly low score of 13.466, dropping Japan
off the podium altogether. Team Great Britain and Ukraine celebrated,
but the Japanese submitted a score inquiry about Uchimura’s low mark.
The judges accepted the inquiry, and raised Uchimura’s score up to a
14.166 — enough to vault Japan back into second, and stripping Ukraine
of a bronze.
