LONDON (AFP) –

China's gymnast Chen Yibing competes on the rings

China’s gymnast Chen Yibing competes on the rings during the men’s team final of the artistic gymnastics event of the London Olympic Games at the 02 North Greenwich Arena in London. China successfully defended their men’s artistic gymnastics team title in the Olympic final on Monday, with Great Britain finishing second and Ukraine third.

Japan took the silver medal in the men’s artistic gymnastics team final on Monday after a judges’ inquiry that dropped hosts Great Britain from second to third and denied Ukraine a medal.

A fall from superstar Kohei Uchimura on the pommel horse initially saw Japan finish fourth, but they appealed against his score and the judges accepted the appeal, giving Japan silver and leaving Ukraine empty-handed.
