While the U.S. men’s gymnastics team didn’t win the gold, they won their first Olympic medal since the Beijing Games in 2008 on Monday afternoon in a Paris storybook ending.
Frederick Richard, Paul Juda, Brody Malone, Asher Hong and Stephen Nedoroscik put in a collective effort to earn bronze in the men’s team final at Bercy Arena for their first medal in 16 years.

The group went from fifth in qualifying into third place with just one final rotation left to go of the six different disciplines, surpassing expectations already, but it was on a notoriously tricky event — the pommel horse.

Juda completed it first of the U.S.’s three chosen competitors with a score of 13.900 and Malone delivered with a 13.700 after a tough qualifying day with a 12.100 on the pommel.
Nedoroscik was the final U.S. gymnast to perform on the rotation and his teammates were cheering him on throughout the entirety of his routine.
