Kurbanov performed first and set the bar high with a 15.433, beating out all qualifying scores.

Nedoroscik had previously qualified for the competition by tying McClenaghan's qualifiers-leading 15.200 score.

Whitlock performed after Kurbanov, but a break in form left Britain's most decorated gymnast off the podium in what he says will be the final Olympic appearance of his career.

McClenaghan became the first Irish gymnast to win an Olympic medal with his routine. The win represented redemption for McClenaghan after he finished seventh during 2020 Tokyo Games after coming off the pommel horse.

Nedoroscik earned his second bronze medal of the Olympics after his pommel horse routine also helped Team USA claim bronze in the men's team competition.

The former Penn State gymnast will add his two bronze medals to a list of accomplishments including a 2021 world championship and two NCAA titles.
