Japan is back atop the medal podium in men’s gymnastics, and by the narrowest of margins.

The country just edged past China to win gold in a battle between the two favorites heading into the event, winning by a minuscule 0.532, while the United States got on the podium as well with a bronze medal in dramatic fashion.

Japan: 259.594 pointsChina: 259.062 pointsUnited States: 257.793 pointsGreat Britain: 255.527 pointsUkraine: 254.761 pointsItaly: 248.260 pointsSwitzerland: 247.427 pointsCanada: 245.426 pointsWhile the competition for gold and silver seemed almost a foregone conclusion heading into the event, the battle for bronze was very much up for grabs between the United States, Great Britain and Ukraine.

In the end, it was Stephen Nedoroscik’s epic performance on the pommel horse that helped the United States clinch the bronze:

Megan 📚 @MegWritesBooksObsessed with this guy on the US men’s gymnastics team who’s only job is pommel horse, so he just sits there until he’s activated like a sleeper agent, whips off his glasses like Clark Kent and does a pommel horse routine that helps deliver the team its first medal in 16 years. pic.twitter.com/0D1ZqJjFa1

sean yoo @SeanYootaking off your glasses to then perform a near perfect routine on the pommel horse is so freaking metal

Great Britain took third overall in qualification, while the United States finished fifth.

But the American men turned it up a gear in the final.
