Russia take group gymnastics gold
Russia defended their title to secure a third straight Olympic gold in the women's rhythmic gymnastics group all-around event.
The Russians edged out China with 35.550 points to complete a rhythmic sweep after Evgeniya Kanaeva won the individual event on Saturday.
China claimed silver in front of a noisy partisan crowd with 35.225, while Belarus scored 34.900 for bronze.
Russia took an early lead in the five rope rotation and held out for victory.
