I’d predicted RUS, CHN, USA and would probably do the same again if the teams were competing tomorrow.
I had doubts whether the young and inexperienced Japanese team would hold it together. Their routines are SO difficult. Also, Wataru Tanigawa looked to be injured in the qualification competition. But — happily — looked 100% tonight!
I was wrong. It was a superb 3 way fight for the medals. The best team competition I can recall. Ever.
Congratulations Japan!
