Team USA begins its quest to return to the medal stand in men's gymnastics when the competition kicks off at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Saturday at Bercy Arena. The Americans have not earned a team medal in men's gymnastics since earning bronze at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing. In Paris, they will be led by 2024 U.S. all-around champion and two-time Olympian Brody Malone and 2023 World all-around bronze medalist Frederick Richard.
The United States is listed at +350 to win men's gymnastics gold in the latest 2024 Paris Olympics odds. Japan, which won the silver medal at the most recent Olympics in Tokyo, is the +130 favorite, while China, which has earned the bronze medal at the last two Summer Games is the +200 second choice in the odds. The team final is scheduled for Monday. Before locking in any 2024 Summer Olympics picks or predictions, you need to see what SportsLine Olympic insider Dan O'Brien has to say .
O'Brien is a highly decorated decathlete who won the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, becoming the first American to accomplish the feat since Bruce Jenner 20 years earlier. O'Brien also is a five-time U.S. champion and three-time world champion in the event, and he held the decathlon world record from 1992-99 and the heptathlon world record from 1993-2010. As a result of his achievements, O'Brien is a member of the USATF, USOC and IAAF Halls of Fame.
Top men's gymnastic predictions for the 2024 Paris Olympics
O'Brien is fading Team USA as a gold or silver contender. He does, however, like the Americans' chance at a bronze. "The team competition in a lot of ways is more important for these countries than individual medals. So expect the top three teams coming into these games (Japan, China and the United States) to be up to the task."
The USA has not won bronze since 2008, though a third-place finish for the Americans feels more feasible after they finished third at the 2023 World Championships. See O'Brien's top pick right here .
