Japan Wins Team Gold, the Floor Breaks Again + Great Britain's Heartbreak: Worlds Men's Team Final

22 hours ago

The floor broke again! 🤸 A Dutch gymnast flagged the corner of the floor during the men's team final at the 2026 World Championships, nine years after Bart Deurloo did the same in Montreal. Japan 🇯🇵 won the world team title despite late falls, the Russian team competing as WG2 took silver and China 🇨🇳 held on for bronze, while Great Britain's 🇬🇧 medal hopes came apart one error at a time.
