Artistic Gymnastics events occurred from 27 July to 5 August at the Accor Arena. The artistic gymnastics competitions attracted audiences with performances that broke records and left them with memorable historical moments.
The arena experienced one of the most exciting moments in the Games' history, filled with thousands of passionate audience members and plenty of well-known names (including Kendall Jenner, Tom Cruise, Ariana Grande, and John Travolta).
Here's a recap of everything that happened, including the medal results and highlights.
Men’s Team Final
Frederick Richard, the 2023 World medallist, and Brody Malone, the three-time U.S. national all-around champion, controlled the squad. Two days before, Malone had bounced back from a difficult qualifying day to perform well when his team needed him.
Paul Juda and Asher Hong also made significant contributions to the team's core, therefore Stephen Nedoroscik was left to close the agreement as the American men's final routine.
Results:
- Japan won Gold with 259.594 score
- China won Silver with 259.062 score
- United States won Bronze with 257.793 score
Women’s Team Final
The squad, spearheaded by the famous Simone Biles, performed brilliantly in Paris, wiping out any negative memories from Tokyo. Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera are now popular as “Golden Girls”. They won an Olympic gold medal in the event, making history as only the fourth American team to do so.
Results
- United States won Gold with 171.296 score
- Italy won Silver with 165.494 score
- Brazil won Bronze with 164.497 score
Women’s All-Around Final
Simone Biles won her second Olympic all-around title, pushing her back to the top of her discipline. With her win, Biles continued the American women's all-around gold medal-winning streak to six Games in a row, which began with Carly Patterson's incredible performance in the Athens 2004 Games.
Rebeca Andrade, a competitor from Brazil, and Suni Lee, who won bronze, were defeated by Biles. In Paris, Biles and Lee made history by becoming the first two Olympic all-around winners to enter the same medal stage.
Results:
- Simone Biles won Gold with 171.296 score
- Rebeca Andrade won Silver with 165.494 score
- Suni Lee won Bronze with 164.497 score
Men’s All-Around Final
Shinnosuke Oka became the fourth person to win the men's gymnastics all-around title in three consecutive Olympic Games won by a gymnast from Japan. After falling during the first rotation, Zhang Boheng returned to earn the silver.
Xiao Ruoteng, the silver medallist in the men's Olympic all-around competition in Tokyo, came in third place, making history as the first final, including two Chinese gymnasts.
Results:
- Shinnosuke Oka won Gold with 86.832 score
- Zhang Boheng won Silver with 86.599 score
- Xiao Ruoteng won Bronze with 86.364 score
Women’s Vault Final
A Yurchenko double pike and a Cheng vault, both incredibly difficult and energetic, helped Simone Biles return to the top of the medal stage. Rebeca Andrade, the dominant Olympic champion, ended in second place despite outscoring Biles with an impressive Cheng of her own. She could not match Biles' skill level on the Yurchenko double pike.
After pulling off two of her greatest vaults, Carey won the bronze in Paris.

Results:
- Carlos Yulo won Gold with 15.116 score
