NY20?? Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Men's Team GymnasticsGold - China Silver - Japan Bronze - USA I'm happy for China, especially for the veteran of now 3 Games, Yang Wei. After the disappointments in Athens, they faced an Olympics at home, but they didn't let the pressure get to them and in the end, pulled out a fantastic win. And great job, Team USA! Considering that all of them are first-time Olympians and were counted out after the Hamm brother pulled out, this Bronze is that much more special for them.
