7:39 Chiba Kenta (JPN) gets the competition started on floor. small hop on the double front pike to open. Big stumble back on the double front full to layout but sticks the third pass and the side double full. SO WEIRD on the back 2.5 to barani. Not sure if that was the intended pass. 12.933
7:37 Now the other four teams have the opportunity to warm up.
7:35 pm The first group of athletes now have the opportunity to warm-up. That’s the Japanese on floor, the British on pommel horse, the Germans on rings, and the Swiss on Vault.
7:33 pm The Germans come out first of the athletes starting on still rings. They do a countdown with their hands together! And finally, the Italians. They point up to the heavens!
7:32 pm The British come out next and they are starting on pommel horse. No pose from them. The Canadians follow and all come out with arms crossed. Will Emard is in his standard bright yellow crocks. Some other teammates are just in socks and some are in sandals.
7:31 pm The athletes on vault march in next. The Swiss come out first followed by China. China will start in the exact same order as qualifications. This will be the first time Lin Chaopan will compete in this arena.
7:30 pm The athletes are marching in. Starting with Japan on floor. It is so hot in this arena and they are in their full winter coats. The Americans are next in regular warm-ups. They changed their march-in from qualifications. They look calm!
7:29 pm The countdown has begun. The arena is quite empty actually. I would say half full would be a generous estimate.
FX: Japan and USA
PH: GBR and Canada
SR: Germany and Italy
VT: Switzerland and China
