WATCH LIVE: Medal favorites China, Japan, United States begin men’s gymnastics

The men’s gymnastics competition begins Saturday, with there being three subdivisions competing throughout the day. The United States, which is looking to medal in the team all-around after failing to do so in London four years ago, will be part of subdivision 2 which begins its qualification at approximately 1:30 p.m. Eastern on NBCOlympics.com and on the NBC Sports app. In addition to the qualifications for the team all-around final gymnasts will compete for places in the individual events, including the individual all-around competition.

Danell Leyva, who won the bronze medal in the all-around competition four years ago, will not be one of the United States’ two gymnasts who will look to qualify for the all-around final.
