Kudryavtseva came in these Olympic Games as the reigning World All-around champion, having won all three all around world titles after the London Olympics. On 19 August, she competed at the preliminary session where her total score ranked second in the qualifications behind Margarita Mamun.[43] On 20 August, at the rhythmic gymnastics individual all-around final, Kudryavtseva had established herself in the lead after the first two rotations with scores of 19.225 in hoop and 19.250 in ball. However, in the third rotation in clubs; in the last seconds of her routine, she failed to catch one of her clubs and had to scramble to get her hand on it before the music ended, she received a score of 17.883.[44] She described her miscalculation in the clubs routine "It all happened very quickly and I didn’t manage to find a way to solve the mistake. That’s why I lost the club. I’ve been competing for 13 years, so of course this has happened before. At the end of the routine, I realised I was not going to win the gold medal. That's why emotionally I was a little bit more relaxed and I was competing for myself, my coach and the spectators. I wanted to give them a good performance”. [45] In the last rotation, she came back with a strong ribbon routine where she scored 19.250. But the serious mistake in her clubs was enough to take her out of contention for the gold,[46] Kudryavtseva won the silver medal with a total of 75.608 points, teammate Margarita Mamun won the gold medal with a total of 76.483 points.[47] Despite not winning the Olympics, Kudryavtseva remains the only rhythmic gymnast to have never finished an international competition off the All-around podium.
