Team Brazil rocked Olympic prelims

Following subdivision 1

1. Japan 269.294
2. Brazil 268.078
3. Netherlands 257.686
results

Brazil scored 8.501 points ahead of their 2015 Worlds total. They’ll easily qualify through to the Team final.

Though they competed only 3 gymnasts on Pommels, P Bars & H Bar, the team had no falls. It’s a best ever international team performance.
