The men’s artistic gymnastics team debuted today (24) at the Tokyo Olympic Games. The team is waiting for the completion of the qualifying stage to find out if it will get a place in the next stage, but the situation was difficult. Two-time Olympic medalist – gold in London-2012 and silver in Rio-2016, Arthur Zanetti should calmly qualify for the final of rings, with a note of 14,900. He is striving to be the first ring athlete to win a medal for three consecutive Olympics.
World champion of the fixed bar in 2019 and Olympic ground medalist in Rio-2016, Brazilian Arthur Nory failed in the presentation of the only two devices in which he was trying to seek a final at the Tokyo Olympics. Nory made a presentation with many faults on the fixed bar and, on the ground, he fell sitting at the end of the last step. For one of Brazil’s gymnastics favorites for the medal, the Olympic competition is over.
In all, there were six stages, which started on the horse and went on to rings, jump, parallel bars, fixed bar and floor. In addition to Zanetti, Caio Souza can also compete in the individual finals in vaulting, and Diogo Soares in vaulting. Both can also reach the overall individual decision.
