And two Italian medals on the rings, what a year.

Lodadio was not supposed to compete in this final and he wins silver. Crazy.

Really a great year for Italy. Who would have thought? 4 medals so far? Unbelievable.

Okay, now we have some drama.

People are questioning why Luo Rui only received a score of 8.433 in execution for her routine, and then the logical explanation was that she hit the low bar with her feet once, which should cause a 0.5 deduction on the execution score. However, according to the code of points, this deduction only applies if the rhythm of the routine is affected -- i.e., if there is a pause or if the movement she performs does not follow smoothly. People are now discussing on Twitter that the rhythm of the routine was never broken, so she should have never been deducted.

My opinion: she should have won. Rebeca should have been the bronze medalist, and I would not even be mad if Kovacs had been scored higher and earned the bronze medal. The uneven bars final was great but the way gymnasts were scored leaves the doors open for discussion.

Balance beam final has a bit of the pommel horse final feeling so far: a festival of errors...

such unlucky girl luo Rui , she did a very beautiful routine but has fallen

And that's it for Andrade's balance beam hopes after roughly 0,6 seconds (raw estimate).
