The men's gymnastics team final was marred by a judging upheaval that initially saw Great Britain get silver and Ukraine get bronze. The performance of Japanese athlete Kohei Uchimura in the pommel horse event was barely satisfactory, with an additional fault when landing.

However, the Japanese lodged an inquiry into the score awarded to Uchimura after the Japanese team's final rotation. The judges took this into deliberation for over 10 minutes and changed their verdict. Japan, once relegated to fourth place, finished the night as a silver medalist.
