Japan Wins Gold, U.S. Bronze in Gymnastics

Japan clinched gold in the men's gymnastics team event at the Paris Olympics, overtaking China in the final rotation after Su Weide's falls on the horizontal bar. This win marks Japan's eighth team gold and first since 2016. The U.S. men's team, including standout performances by Frederick Richard and Brody Malone, ended a 16-year medal drought by securing bronze, finishing just ahead of Great Britain. The women's team, featuring stars like Simone Biles and Suni Lee, is the most racially diverse in history. The American men's team's success was bolstered by contributions from Big Ten athletes and a strategic approach in the final routines. Russia did not compete due to its involvement in the Ukraine conflict.
