Pommel horse struggles doom American men, fail to medal in all-around
New York TimesPARIS — The United States’ love affair with the pommel horse is on hiatus. Frederick Richard, a bronze medalist in the most recent World Championships, fell off the pommel horse, a disastrous mistake that rendered him out of contention after just one rotation. China’s Bohen Zhang, the 2021 World Champion, nearly landed on his head on floor exercise and Japan’s Daiki Hishooto, the reigning Olympic all-around champion, also fell off the pommel horse. As luck would have it, the athlete section sits just up from the pommel horse, Nedoroscik’s beloved event, and for at least one night, the site of U.S. vindication. He and Hong, both wired up for TV audio, sent good vibes to Richard, who started on the pommel horse, Nedoroscik encouraging Richard to “find your rhythm.’’ Alas, it did not translate.
