The United States men's gymnastics team secured a historic bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, ending a 16-year medal drought. Japan won gold with a narrow 0.532-point lead over China, which took silver after suffering crucial falls in the final rotation. Frederick Richard, Brody Malone, Paul Juda, Asher Hong, and pommel horse specialist Stephen Nedoroscik led the U.S. team with consistent performances, significantly outperforming their qualifying scores. Juda and Richard will also compete in the all-around final, while Nedoroscik will aim for an individual medal on the pommel horse. The victory marks a significant achievement for the relatively young American team, which had aimed to return to the Olympic podium after finishing fifth in previous competitions. Russia did not compete due to sanctions related to the war against Ukraine.
