Blythe posted the Most/Least Impressive performances on her Gymblog. I enjoyed her earlier post too: Chinese men: Gold!
International Gymnast posted a nice recap:
The Chinese men marched to the gold medal Monday at the Olympic team final in Beijing.
Japan earned the silver, 7.25 points behind the Olympic hosts, while the American team won the battle for the bronze.
As expected, China blitzed the competition, taking the top team score on five of the six events. After a slow start on floor exercise, the team was untouchable. World champions Xiao Qin (16.100 on pommel horse) and Chen Yibing (16.575 on still rings) were superb on their respective specialities. On vault, Yang Wei scored 16.600 for a near-stuck Tsuk triple full, and Li Xiaopeng took 16.775 for his namesake vault (Yurchenko half on, Randi).
In the fifth rotation, Huang Xu took the top mark for China on parallel bars with a 16.475, followed by Li at 16.450. China held such a high lead that by the end of the sixth rotation, team anchor Zou Kai needed only 8.75 to secure the gold on high bar. A routine with a stuck dismount delivered 15.975 and the gold medal. The Chinese team, which included three veterans of the gold medal team from the 2000 Olympics, were moved to tears after the victory. …
In many ways, the “Athlete of the Meet” was Jonathan Horton. He nailed 5 routines to lead the USA to a Bronze.
