At the Paris Olympics, Japan outperformed China to capture the gold medal in men's gymnastics, marking a significant achievement as it was their eighth team gold and first since the 2016 Rio Games. The competition saw a thrilling conclusion, with Japan gaining the lead during the final rotation after Chinese gymnast Su Weide experienced two falls on the horizontal bar, which contributed to Japan winning by a narrow margin of 0.532 points.

The United States men's gymnastics team made a remarkable comeback, securing the bronze medal, much to the excitement of their supporters who cheered "USA, USA" throughout the event. With a total score of 257.793 points, the Americans managed to surpass Britain for third place, ending a 16-year wait for a podium finish in this category.

Although China had been a strong contender, having dominated the qualifying rounds as the reigning world champion, they faltered in the finals, allowing Japan to reclaim victory. The fierce rivalry culminated in a competitive atmosphere where Japan's Takaaki Sugino, Shinnosuke Oka, and all-around champion Daiki Hashimoto delivered strong performances, notably on the horizontal bar, sealing their comeback after trailing midway through the event.
