The rhythmic gymnastics events took place at Wembley Arena from 9 to 12 August.{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/2012/GYM/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200417054924/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/2012/GYM/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 April 2020 |title=Gymnastics at the 2012 London Summer Games |work=Sports Reference |access-date=24 August 2019}}

Judging controversies

The men's artistic team all-around final became the subject of controversy when the judges were booed by the crowd following Japan's Kōhei Uchimura's score for his pommel horse routine, and how it shuffled the medals of Japan, Great Britain, and Ukraine.NBC, 2012 Olympic Summer Games - Evening, airdate: 30 July 2012{{cite news |publisher=Bleacher Report |url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1278131-2012-olympic-mens-gymnastics-judges-us-fold-under-pressure-of-biggest-stage |title=2012 Olympic Men's Gymnastics: Judges, US Fold Under Pressure of Biggest Stage |author=Liviu Bird |date=30 July 2012}}{{cite news |publisher=Bleacher Report |url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1278162-mens-gymnastics-olympic-controversy-japan-takes-silver-great-britain-snubbed |title=Men's Gymnastics Olympic Controversy: Japan Takes Silver, Great Britain Snubbed |author=Patrick Clarke |date=30 July 2012}}
