Russia won the 2008 European team title by almost three points over second-place Germany. The Russian men (Sergei Khorokhordin, Maxim Deviatovski, Yury Ryazanov, Nikolai Kryukov, and Anton Golotsutskov) scored a 272.450 to Germany's 269.575 and third-place Romania's 268.950.

Deviatovski had the highest all-around score of the meet (90.375), though no official all-around competition was contested. Deviatovski was the 2007 European all-around champion, and Russia the 2007 team champion as well.

Though China and Japan are considered to be the best two men's teams in the world right now, Russia could definitely end up on the podium this summer at the Olympics. Romania and Germany are also medal threats.
