Olympic Men's Gymnastics 2016: Floor Medal Winners, Scores and Results

Great Britain's Max Whitlock made history on Sunday, winning the gold medal in the men's individual floor exercise and earning the first Olympic gold medal for the country in gymnastics. 

The Brazilian fans were left thrilled, meanwhile, after their countrymen, Diego Hypolito and Arthur Mariano, won silver and bronze, respectively.

Here are the full results:

Place	Athlete	Country	Score
1	Max Whitlock	Great Britain	15.633
2	Diego Hypolito	Brazil	15.533
3	Arthur Mariano	Brazil	15.433
4	Kenzo Shirai	Japan	15.366
5	Kohei Uchimura	Japan	15.241
6	Jacob Dalton	United States	15.133
7	Kristian Thomas	Great Britain	15.058
8	Samuel Mikulak	United States	14.333

To say those final standings were shocking might be an understatement. Japan's Kenzo Shirai—a two-time winner on the floor exercise at the World Championships and one-time runner-up—was the clear favorite, while his teammate, Kohei Uchimura, seemed like a strong choice for silver.

And at least one of the Americans—either Jacob Dalton or Sam Mikulak, who disappointingly finished with the worst score in the event—was a strong contender to medal. 

Shirai and Mikulak, who performed the final two routines, may have some reason to be annoyed with the Brazilian fans, however, as Dawn Rhodes of the Chicago Tribune noted:

"

Brazilian crowd going bananas for their athletes and cheering and chanting throughout Shirai's and Mikulak's routines. Not good. #Rio2016

But ultimately, it was Whitlock's day.

And his floor exercise is one many folks will long remember and was certainly a highlight of the Rio Games for Great Britain, as Simon Thomas of Wales Online noted:

Meanwhile, Whitlock's teammate, Brinn Bevan, took to Twitter to congratulate him on his accomplishment:

But Whitlock—who also won the bronze medal in the all-around competition at these Games and earned bronze medals in the team competition and pommel horse in 2012—may not be done on the podium. He still has the pommel horse competition remaining and will be looking to earn his fifth Olympic medal.
