- ^ Uchimura was initially given a score of 13.466 on the pommel horse. However, the Japanese team filed an appeal, believing that he had been given the incorrect D-score for his dismount. After review by the Men's Technical Committee, the dismount's difficulty was authorized and his score was raised to 14.166.
Controversy
[edit]Entering the last rotation of the final, China held the lead, followed by Japan, Ukraine, and Great Britain.[1] Great Britain earned high scores on the floor exercise, allowing them to surpass Ukraine in the standings despite a solid rings programme from the Ukrainians. Meanwhile, however, Japan was encountering problems on its final apparatus, the pommel horse. First, Kazuhito Tanaka fell, earning a low score of 13.433. Then Kōhei Uchimura had a bad dismount and received a score of 13.466:[citation needed] knocking Japan down to fourth place, and moving Great Britain into second and Ukraine into third.
The Japanese team filed an appeal, arguing that Uchimura's difficulty score (D-score) had been incorrectly downgraded for his dismount, which—while executed poorly—was landed without a fall. After an in-depth video review by the Men's Technical Committee, headed by Adrian Stoica of Romania, Uchimura's dismount was given full difficulty credit (0.7 points for the G-level skill). This increased his total score to 14.166, giving Japan the silver medal and Great Britain the bronze, and knocking Ukraine to fourth place.[2][3]
