☆ U.S. men’s gymnastics medalist Fred Richard on how his sport can avoid falling back into post-Olympics obscurity
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-28 | by ( Kaya Ginsky | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

"I'm really passionate about changing the support around the sport," Richard told CNBC in an interview after the Olympics ended. That content hopefully is not only driving more eyeballs to the men's gymnastics, but participants as well. Men's gymnastics consistently lags in popularity behind women's at the collegiate level, where meets are regularly televised, and at the international level. There are only 12 Division I NCAA Men's Gymnastics programs, and more are at risk of cuts. "I don't think it's ever been a situation where that many people are watching men's gymnastics … and left feeling like it was worth it."

U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles might lose her bronze medal. She had placed fifth before the inquiry, behind both Romanians, but received a tenth back on her final score, boosting her onto the podium. In one, the team asked that the 0.1 point penalty for stepping out of bounds on Maneca-Voinea's final score be returned because it was "given without basis." It also requested that Chiles, Maneca-Voinea and Bărbosu all be placed in third and earn bronze medals. If she had not received the deduction, Maneca-Voinea would have scored higher than Bărbosu and Chiles, even after Chiles' score was increased on appeal.

Perhaps the most iconic image from these Games occurred after one of the few gymnastics events she didn’t completely dominate, the individual floor competition. In the stands, supporting and helping to coach him, was Renaud Lavillenie, the Frenchman whose world record Duplantis first broke in 2020. Then there was the American sprinter Noah Lyles, who earned the title of world’s fastest man by winning gold in the 100-meter dash.
