Hell yeah, gymnastics is always my fave part of the Olympics so in lieu of GB having any decent women I'll be watching Simone Biles in awe

And with no men's gymnastics thread I'll say a big drat oof at Kohei Uchimura's fall, that's absolutely gutting

Getting caught up (watching from Europe, should have set an alarm to get up earlier), what happened with the Qual team scores that put the US at number 2?

Simone Biles underperformed

BBC just caught up highlights of the first batch of today's gymnastics and Jessica Gadirova's floor routine was real fun :)

e: Wait there's two Gadirovas and they're identical twins this is very confusing

I dunno, I think it's gonna be pretty close going into the final rotation between ROC and China.

e: I didn't expect China's last parallel bars entrant to have multiple breaks. So Russians still in the lead.

China are finishing on the high bar as well so if they don't go in ahead they're not going to pull it off

So the womens team finals starts in three and a half hours, right? I wish the Olympics would just use UTC for everything.

Yeah, in 3 hours time now. I'm surprised NBC weren't able to swing getting Simone Biles on US primetime

2 and a half points behind Italy and I don't understand the scoring system enough to know if that's surmountable.

Italy are finishing on beam and I think Japan are too which means there could be a chance
