It was a tie that couldn't be broken. Japanese gymnast Mai Murakami and Russian gymnast Angelina Melnikova earned the same score for the routines they performed during the floor exercise final: a 14.166. Both ended up in third behind Jade Carey and Vanessa Ferrari, so the medal would go to whomever had the higher execution score.
