Hungary took home the gold medal in the event, as Krisztian Berki took the top honors by the slimmest of margins over Great Britain’s Louis Smith. Britain further added to their medal count by picking up the bronze as well, as Max Whitlock claimed the third spot on the podium.
This is Hungary’s third gold medal at the Olympics, giving them six medals overall. Britain, meanwhile, has opened a three-medal lead over Russia and sits alone in third place in total medals. The host country’s 16 gold medals are also good for third place in that tally.
