Gymnastics
Daiki Hashimoto of Japan headlines the men’s all-around final, and it’s his to lose as the event’s reigning two-time world champion and defending gold medalist from Tokyo, where he competed at just 19 years old.
His biggest challenger? Zhang Boheng of China, who beat Hashimoto by 0.017 points at 2021 Worlds. Zhang struggled with injuries this year but appears in top form after ranking first (88.597) in qualifying on Saturday.
Hashimoto’s teammate Shinnosuke Oka, competing in his first senior-level global meet, placed second (86.865) behind Zhang.
The Americans have contenders in Frederick Richard and Paul Juda, fresh off a bronze in the team event. They were 10th (83.498) and 13th (82.865) in qualifying, respectively. Missing is reigning national champion Brody Malone who didn’t qualify.
The U.S. has not won a men’s all-around medal since Danell Leyva‘s bronze at the 2012 London Games.
