PARIS — American gymnast Frederick Richard is hoping the success of the U.S. men's program at the Olympics is just the start. The 20-year-old helped the Americans earn bronze in the team competition, their first in 16 years. Richard says the energy he needed in the team final left him gassed for the all-around, where he finished 15th. Richard believes the U.S. program is on the right track as it tries to build momentum toward the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
