Default Japan gets 4th in Gymnastics, complains and gets silver, knocking England to bronze
confusing thread but my mum told me she watched the gymnastics and basically..

-GB finished 2nd and got silver
-Ukraine finished 3rd and got bronze
-Japan finished 4th
-Japan complained and got bumped up to silver, knocking GB down to bronze
- Ukraine gets stripped of their bronze so GB can have it.

How unfair is this? They finished in 4th and somehow bribed their way up to 2nd?

I agree it's disgusting, that guy fell on his routine so Japan didn't deserve it.

They didn't " bribe " their way to 4th they were entitled to make an inquiry about how the scoring was done based on Difficulty and the landing and the score was changed fairly after a review, it can happen to anyone.. so blame the scorers for getting it wrong in the first place

Annoying, but they were consistent throughout the competition
and more frustrating for Ukraine tbh, going from 3rd to 4th

They were well within their right. Think about if GB were in their situation?

Exactly, some people would not be complaining if we had been bumped from 4th to 2nd

But we should have been 2nd, arguably 1st as we didn't put a foot wrong.

Although the racist tweets about Japan on Twitter is nothing short of disgusting though.

I was there and Japan won the silver fair and square. The judges hadn't awarded correct mark for his landing and the closeness of the scores meant it only needed a tiny uplift to give them silver. It's Ukraine I felt sorry for.

Exactly it must just be awful to go from Bronze to nothing
China were fantastic as per usual, just wish the scoring was done correct in the beginning

A shocking robbery from Ukraine, poor chaps worked hard for that bronze just to have it cruelly ripped away from them in such a humiliating way

Japan should have had bronze, they wasn't good enough to have silver.
