Japan triumphed over China to win gold in the men's gymnastics team competition at the Paris Olympics, marking Japan's eighth team gold and first since 2016. The victory came after a dramatic final rotation where China's Su Weide faltered, scoring just 11.600 on the horizontal bar, allowing Japan to clinch the title by a narrow margin of 0.532 points. The United States secured bronze, marking their first Olympic medal in this event since 2008, thanks in part to Stephen Nedoroscik's strong performance. Japan's final score was 259.594, while China finished with 259.062. The competition was notably affected by the absence of Russia due to its ongoing conflict with Ukraine. The crowd at Bercy Arena celebrated as Daiki Hashimoto led the Japanese team to victory, overcoming a slow start to deliver a stellar performance.
