Olympic Men's Gymnastics 2024: Rings Medal Winners, Scores and Results

China's Liu Yang is still the gold standard when it comes to the men's ring competition at the Olympics.

The star gymnast successfully defended the gold he won in the 2020 Tokyo Games with another victory in Sunday's competition in the 2024 Paris Games. He posted a score of 15.300 to defeat his Chinese teammate, Zou Jingyuan, and Greece's Eleftherios Petrounias.

Zou took home the silver with a score of 15.233, while Petrounias captured the bronze at 15.100.

Here is a look at the full results:

1. Liu Yang, China: 15.300
2. Zou Jingyuan, China: 15.233
   
3. Eleftherios Petrounias, Greece: 15.100
   
4. Samir Aït Saïd, France: 15.000
   
5. Adem Asil, Türkiye: 14.966
6. Vahagn Davtyan, Armenia: 14.866
7. Harry Hepworth, Great Britain: 14.800
8. Glen Cuyle, Belgium: 13.833

The contest between Liu and Zou couldn't have been closer coming in, as the former was the reigning gold medalist and the latter topped the standings after the qualification round. What's more, they each came into Sunday's final with difficulty scores of 6.400, which meant it came down to the execution.

And Liu executed slightly better with a score of 8.900 compared to the silver medalist's 8.833 mark.

The gold and silver medalists weren't the only ones who impressed in Sunday's competition.

Petrounias added to his lengthy Olympic resume with a bronze thanks to his difficulty score of 6.300. That was higher than the difficulty score of 6.100 for France's Samir Aït Saïd, which allowed a small margin of error on execution for the Greek.

That proved important, as he finished with a score of 15.100 to win the bronze by .100.

Petrounias also won gold in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games and bronze in Tokyo.

The three medal winners prevailed in an eight-man final that did not include any Americans in the field. While the United States women have dominated the gymnastics competitions in Paris, nobody from the United States was able to qualify for Sunday's rings final.
