Olympic Gymnastics: Hashimoto Daiki Helps Japan Men Take Gold Ahead Of China, USA
The United States: Led by a fine routine by Hashimoto Daiki, the reigning Olympic champion on the horizontal bar, Japan clinched the gold medal in men's team gymnastics quelling the USA in a dramatic final in the 33rd Olympic Games here on Monday. Japan won the gold with 259.594 and China had to be satisfied with a silver medal after managing only 259.062, finishing second with a very narrow margin. The United States finished with 257.793 and bagged the bronze medal.
The United States had fought back with a clean routine from Stephen Nedoroscik, the former pommel horse world champion. Nedoroscik had a score of 14.866, which ensured at least bronze for the U.S., and he ran over to his teammates as they started jumping up and down in a big bear hug.
But a disappointing routine on the high bar by Su Weide, who scored just an 11.600 after his two falls, meant that Japan overtook the USA and the People's Republic of China with just one gymnast left to perform for each team.
