Team USA's Frederick Richard, of Stoughton, Massachusetts, and Stephen Nedoroscik, of Worcester, Mass., qualified for event finals in men's gymnastics
Team USA's Frederick Richard, of Stoughton, Massachusetts, and Stephen Nedoroscik, of Worcester, Mass., qualified for event finals in men's gymnasticsThe American men — hoping to repeat the bronze they won at the world championships last fall — weren't nearly as sharp as they would have liked in front of an audience that included U.S.
Richard wasn't the only one. The U.S. arrived in Paris hoping to earn a team medal at the Olympics for the first time since a bronze in Beijing 16 years ago.
