GB men miss out on olympic spot

The British men had a tough outing in the second day of men's qualifying.

1. Japan 364.191
2. USA 361.583
3. China 358.226
4. Germany 354.132
5. Russia 353.725
6. Korea 351.331
7. Romania 350.900
8. Ukraine 350.434

9. France 349.818

10. Great Britain 348.742

This means GB will join France, Spain, Canada, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Italy and Belarus in the second qualification competition at the test event in January. Top 4 teams from there advance to the olympics. GB can be comforted that even with several errors and falls, they are less than 2 points outside the top 8 so qualification shouldn't be too hard and a team final spot in London is still more than possible with the help of a home crowd.

Louis Smith qualified for the pommel horse final (even without all hos difficulty in the routine) and Daniel Purvis qualified 5th to the all around final. Japan's Uchimura leads the qualifying, making 5 event finals, first place in the all around and Japan holding out in first for the team.
