The United States secured the bronze with a score of 257.793, marking their first medal in this event in 16 years.
China, initially in a strong position to claim the gold, faced setbacks during the final rotation due to costly mistakes. Su Weide's performance was particularly disappointing, as he scored just 11.600 after falling twice, visibly affecting the team's chances.
