Full recap of every single team in the final, details, scores, and moments we loved from:

- Russia being 1000% better than prelims and bringing the D on bars and vault
- China winning bronze despite counting two falls and their best gymnast, Shang being sick.
- Japan coming in 4th with hit after hit after hit and jumping for joy after their bars rotation.
- The British bringing the big D and going for all of their difficulty, not watering down like pusillanimouses to place fifth.
- Germany outscoring Russia and China on two events with gorgeous and difficult bars in their technicolor dream-neon leos.
- The Netherlands proving that athlete welfare and beauty can conquer in gymnastics.
- Brazil enjoying their Olympic moment with huge difficulty and The Flavia Factor.
Our favorite not-gymnastics moments from the Japanese elation to Aliya Mustafina being soooo Queen Mustafina.
