- Samir Ait Said (FRA) suffered compound fracture of his leg, he wasn't splinted before he was moved and then the Rio medical staff dropped him.
- Ellis O'Reilly coaches did not have her checked by medical staff immediately following this crash on her beam dismount. Maybe she was checked after the rotation, either way, absolutely unconscionable.
