cashew | Men's gymanstics team event live reaction (Reply)

Geebus, Japan is insane. I have no confidence in China's chances now. Especially when half the team is dealing with injuries. I mean, this is normal for gymnastics, but it still hurts the team's chances.

Still cheering them on nonetheless. 加油！

Why are American athletes always so obnoxious? Like would it hurt you to show a little humility? Just a smidgeon?

OK, not the best start for Team China...there're still a lot of events left...

Floor exercise is really not China's best event, is it? *bites nails*

Pommel horse is the worst. Just...the most nerve wracking event ever. Why am I watching this?

Chinese commentators making me more nervous than watching the athletes. I get it, the routine wasn't perfect, the rhythm was off, the team is beset by injuries, yadda yadda yadda. Now I'm a nervous wreck.

It's do or die time on the rings. Either China can get lots of points and surge forward or they'll miss out on gold. Please, please, please no errors! Just...finish the routine without falling off the apparatus. That's all I ask. 🤞

Points get! Still #3, only 0.002 behind Japan. At this rate, it's gonna come down to parallel bars. For now, it's onto the vault, which I hate. I just hate the vault. It's fast, quick, and too easy to lose points. (T_T)

Aaaaaugh, table tennis is happening at the same time! Break for table tennis mix doubles final!

Edit: Oh wait, it's the bronze medal right now. Whew. Back to gymnastics and vaulting. Augh! I hate vaults.

Thank goodness vault is done. Just waiting for the parallel bars while Russia kicks everyone's ass. Geebus they're scary good.

Russia's leading by 3.4 points after four events. I don't know how anyone can catch up to them. Unless Russian gymnasts fall off of their apparatus, it looks like they've got gold in the bag. Best China can hope for at this point is silver. (T_T)

Russian's are so Russian. You'd never mistake one them for an American. Just look at that stoic expression. Look at those killer eyes. They are a warrior race and I am thoroughly intimidated.

Switching between gymnastics and table tennis final now. This is insanely nerve wracking.

Go Team China! Do not let Japan get the table tennis gold. Crush their spirit!

Table tennis gold should be secure, time to see if Team China can secure gymnastics silver.

China's landing have been bad over all. Silver is not guaranteed. Meanwhile, in table tennis, Japan took a set off China. Noooo, their spirits are not crushed. 中国队加油！

Russia secures gymnastics gold, Japan gets silver. As expected, China's men's can't do it, resides at bronze. Back to table tennis, OH FUCKING HELL! C'mon, China, do not let Japan get this!

This is terrible and I hate it.

China fell apart in the end. (T_T) Oh for fuck's sake, I cannot believe we actually lost table tennis.

I'm gonna go eat my pain away. Today was awful.
