In the 2008 Olympics, did the alternates (3 of them) on Team USA (women's) get a silver team medal?

Question

gymnastics

Answer 1

Which Women's Team ?  There is one for almost all sports I believe.  Gymnastics, Rowing, Swimming.  They all have team events and individual events.

Answer 2

If members of any team play even a couple of minutes during any game they receive a medal if the team ends up winning gold, silver or bronze.

So, if those 3 played during the Olympics they will have received a medal.

Answer 3

You need to look up the definition of alternate.   They did not compete, so there for they get nothing!
