🇯🇵 In the Men's gymnastics team final that took place in the Bercy arena last night in Paris. The Japanese team took the title after the Chinese men threw away a three mark lead heading into the final rotation. America came out on top in the battle for bronze and Stephen Nedoroscik mirrored the performance of Sasha Artemev at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games to secure team USA's first Olympic team medal in sixteen years. The GB team finished in fourth, repeating their results from Rio and Tokyo and were able to hold off the strong Ukrainian team. I'm joined in this episode by Hamish Carter a former GB athlete and current Team Scotland gymnast. And this is our story 📚

I really enjoyed hearing your take on the American team and the comparison to the results of the GB team.

Great episode, Sam, and Hamish was a great guest. GB men gave too much away as a 3-up, 3-to-count team on high bar, rings and p-bars to make that step up to the podium. But TBF the team was picked for individual medal chances rather than a team medal, so there were in-built weaknesses on those pieces - the fact that they came 4th is a credit to how well those specialists hit. Re: in-bars (stoop) Tkatchevs on high bar you talked about recently: I can't think of any current MAG who does one, but the Heath Thorpe - the beautiful Australian gymnast who just missed out on qualifying for Paris - is an excellent high bar worker & does in-bar stalders, and with his flexibility has potential to do one. I guess whether he does or not will come down to what value FIG would give it.

Your discussion of the rings technique is very useful. I had noticed the difference in the swinging and the laxity in the rings just from watching the best rings guys here. Now I need to watch the finals more closely. American here and while we do okay on rings, we are definitely not big in that event.

I need to see the breakdown of all the scores because with the coverage I was seeing, I felt like GB would have been closer. You are right that GB had bigger big scores that made it confusing for me. With this format it was difficult to keep up with scores. On any other day it could have gone differently. I wish more casual fans or "just watches during the Olympics" could understand how much these athletes can do and have done but how much of a razor's edge every performance can be. To know how they can recover from a mistake whether in the qualifications or in the same night, and give solid routines for the next performance is amazing. I would be crying in a corner somewhere. And then knowing they adjust based on the need of the moment is incredible.

I really dislike the BBC commentary, and wish they'd bring folks with current gymnastics knowledge on both MAG and WAG (and have the courtesy to bother learning how to pronounce every gymnast's name correctly!). Olly Hogben is a big gymternet favourite around the world: he currently commentates for FIG, OBC & Eurosport, and did some of the MAG + WAG quals in Paris with the Canadian Blythe Lawrence (an equally-excellent commentator).

China and Japan are always top 3. This year the Chinese made mistakes and basically beaten themselves but thats all part of this sport. With Russia being banned USA finally made it top 3
