Right, this is even way worse than the pommel horse final by now

1st gold for Japan

And Wong closing this final off with a routine which was unstable the whole way. That was all rather underwhelming, but cool to see Ashikawa get the gold after her incredible save in qualifying and Schaeffer getting silver

Second medal for Carlos Yulo  tonight. This time, it’s silver in the men’s parallel bars

Karimi, wow!

Horrible beam final. There hasn't been a single beam final that was remotely interesting and where the truly best gymnasts made it to the podium at once in the last 7 years. Ugh.

The scoring in the floor final was a mess too. Melnikova once again was overscored, and Murakami had her inquiry accepted when in reality it shouldn't have been. At least Murakami, who is hands down the best floor worker in this competition, got the gold medal here. But was it fair? I don't really think so.

Ugh, Karimi losing it against Macchini  

 

That's a disappointing score for an awesome routine..

Uchimura sticks his potentially last ever competitive landing after a great routine 

 

God, do I love the horizontal bar.

He had lots of major mistakes on handstands. He doesn't deserve a medal here, but since this competition is in Japan and the FIG president is Japanese...

Oh, so the score was indeed fair. I'm surprised!
