As the gymnasts watched the rest of their opponents finish up, Frederick Richard and his teammates began to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner." 

There was a ton of support behind the American gymnasts as the crowd even started to chant "U-S-A!" after some of the gymnasts completed their routines.

Japan picked up the gold medal, and China got the silver. Great Britain and Ukraine just missed out on at least a bronze medal.

Each gymnast needed to give a huge performance to attain a podium spot. 

Asher Hong set the mark on the rings with a 14.533 and on the vault with a 14.833. Richard had a 14.566 on the parallel bars, 14.833 in the horizontal bar and 14.466 on the floor exercise.

Juda and Malone needed a near perfect score on the pommel horse, and they delivered big-time to set up Nedoroscik for his specialty performance.
