  Their score put them in bronze medal position at the halfway point, forcing a comeback in its second and final exercise with the 3 Hoops/2 Pairs of Clubs.  

But as it has so often, the team turned the tables with routine number two, delivering technical excellence and a heaping portion of its trademark elegance for a competition-high 46.250 points, more than a point above any other team for either routine, giving RGF 88.350 overall, 2.35 over Italy.

 In a carbon copy of the Group All-Around final, RGF,   --  Italy,  --   and Belarus finished 1-2-3 in the team competition,
