Michelle in the comments notes that these are actually not the official teamgymnastics mats. In competition the mats are harder.

USA Gymnastics reached in December 2016 a confidential out-of-court settlement with an NDA with Olympic champion McKayla Maroney.
But were there others?
We’d believed McKayla was the only one.
After Scott Reid turned up two more cases, here’s the response:
“USA Gymnastics answered specifically and truthfully in its response to Senators Blumenthal and Moran.
USA Gymnastics does not use or require a non-disclosure agreement as part of an investigation.
The Senators asked about investigations, not settlements. To clarify the facts, approximately 10 years ago, mutual settlements were separately reached in two publicly filed lawsuits. As you recited, the settlement agreements included routine language that the plaintiffs would not disclose the amount of the settlement or the terms of the agreement beyond family, accountants and taxing authorities.
The plaintiffs in these cases are not bound by any other confidentiality restrictions, and their allegations have always been a matter of public record. USA Gymnastics encourages them to speak about their experiences if they so choose to help prevent abuse in the sport. …
USA Gymnastics denies using non-disclosure agreements, but two settlements say otherwise
Thanks Jim.

The favourites for the team medals are definitely England, Scotland and Canada, in that order. …
All Around
… As you would expect, the main contenders for the podium are from the England and Scotland teams. The big news is that Nile Wilson is competing on all 6 events for the first time this year after being kept off pommel horse with a hand injury. The podium will more than likely be an England sweep …
Floor
Surprisingly to absolutely no one, the favourite for the title here is Olympic and defending Commonwealth floor champion Max Whitlock, but he’s by no means a lock for the gold medal. …
Pommel Horse
Again, the favourite for the pommel horse title is world and Olympic champion Max Whitlock. …
Rings
… Courtney Tulloch is the favourite to win this title by a long way. …
Vault
… Christopher Remkes has a difficulty advantage, although it’s not as big this time and he certainly can’t afford any errors. …
Parallel Bars
In general, parallel bars tend to be the most competitive event at most international competitions, and the same will probably be true here …
High Bar
Nile Wilson is the defending champion on this event, and it would absolutely not be surprising to see him repeat …
