It probably feels like it’s been so long since the U.S. won an Olympic team medal in any sort of men’s gymnastics event. If you’re here, you’re probably wondering one thing: *HOW LONG* has it been?
The answer is actually kind of daunting. It’s been 16 years. YES. 16 YEARS.
The last team medal was won by the United States in 2008 at the Beijing Olympics. Alexander “Sasha” Artemev helped the men’s squad take home a bronze medal with a fantastic pommel horse performance, very similar to the way Stephen Nedorosocik helped Team USA win a bronze medal Monday evening during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
