Which USA male gymnasts qualified for the all-around and event finals at Paris Olympics? Complete list ft. Fredrick Richard
The Paris Olympics men's gymnastics qualification rounds are done, and fans finally know who will be representing Team USA in the all-around and events finals at the Games. On a busy Saturday, the competition saw multiple surprises, with Frederick Richard and Paul Juda qualifying for the all-around finals, and Stephen Nedoroscik topping the chart for the pommel horse.
Going into the competition, the US men's team was placed in subdivision one in the qualifying rounds, alongside Germany, Britain, Canada, and a mixed group. Expected to lead the charge for the American men was repeat Olympian Brody Malone, who had put up absolutely stunning performances at the US Championships and US Olympic Trials.
However, in a twist that no one expected at the Paris Olympics, it was Michigan teammates Fredrick Richard and Paul Juda who shone the brightest in the qualification rounds, sealing their spots in the individual finals.
Meanwhile, in the individual apparatus finals, 2021 pommel horse world champion Stephen Nedoroscik tied for first alongside Ireland's Rhys McClenaghan, proving exactly why it's his speciality. After his performance in this early round, the American has established himself as a strong contender for gold.
Team USA gymnasts failed to qualify in the individual finals of floor exercise, vault, parallel bars, still rings, or the horizontal bar. For a while it looked like Asher Hong might make the finals of the still rings and vault, but the American narrowly missed out.
