It's actually on par with what I expected, to be honest. Brazil has stopped producing great all-arounders, so it's only logical that this 4-person team nonsense would greatly affect our results right from the start. Caio did quite well today, and so did Diogo, but Diogo is very young and he was not supposed to even compete this year. He's being prepared to compete in 2024 and 2028. Anyway, I'm happy for Caio. Not happy for Zanetti at all. I despise him and I refuse to cheer for him in any circumstance.

I'm happy for the 2 apparatus finals (+2 individual AA), but I expected more (at least Team final).

Decent day for GB. Whitlock and Fraser and Hall finals but not sure any of the, will get an medal out it. Qualifying 5th for the all round was a great result through for Frazier.  The team event feels like it be a fight between the top 3 while GB and USA fight out for fourth and fifth. Can’t say it’s that likely any GB women will make an apparatus final tomorrow but I hope at least one will - surely at least one will make the all around final and the team will probably qualify.

Great performance from our gymnasts, we did not even have any finals in our history, now we have 7 in one olympics, it is really great, I hope we can win at least one medal to make it even more amazing

Finished 44th O.o

Result of a near fall on the first pass, and then just numerous insecurities on the passes that followed.

Turkey out there doing much better than nations with full teams  And in the end Japan didn't do nearly as good as I thought they did.

Did any big medal contender end up missing out? Quick look suggests not really, but as someone who doesn't often follow it, it's hard to differentiate between all the Russians and Chinese and such of whom I'm not sure if they're good on rings or floor or parallel bars etc

An individual final for Diogo is totally unexpected! I'm super happy for him!

Caio and Zanetti will have a hard time winning a medal, but it's definitely within reach. I'd not hold my breath, though.

Now, our team is just not great. Very low start values on rings and pommel horse. It's impossible to do well and reach team finals when the level of difficulty is not up to par with the other teams. Ninth place is even higher than I expected.

World Champion Yulo missed out.

A lot.

 Yulo (Floor)
 Hak Seon (Vault)
 Tommasone (Pommel Horse)
 Radivilov (Rings and Vault)
 Lodadio (Rings)
 Wai Hung (Vault)
 Regini Moran (Vault)
 Mariano (Horizontal Bar)
 Baumann (Parallel Bars)
 Chaopan (Horizontal Bar)
 Zonderland (Horizontal Bar)
 Tvorogal (Horizontal Bar, Parallel Bars)
 Uchimura (Horizontal Bar)

I was very tempted to mention that Uchimura's gold medal on the horizontal bar was the safest gold medal prediction in men's artistic gymnastics this year, and he didn't even qualify for the final.

Oh damn, they were all serious contenders? I didn't count Zonderland as such because of his past year, I had Deurloo significantly higher in mind than him  

 

Sad for Uchimura by the way, basically the king of the sport for so long, but now the Olympics in his home country are just too late...
