Men's individual all-around final
North Greenwich Arena (medal event)
The men with the 24 highest all-around scores advance to the all-around final. The only caveat: There can only be two gymnasts from each country, so strong teams like China and Japan often have men with scores in the top 24 who don't advance, because they are only the third best (or lower) on their team.
4:30 pm - 7:35 pm
China's Yang Wei won the 2008 men's all-around, and though he is now retired, runner-up Kohei Uchimura of Japan, is not. Uchimura has been dominating the all-around since 2008, winning both the 2009 and 2010 worlds.
