Frederick Richard stuck the landing of his life: world floor gold, ending a 20-year American wait, by 0.033 points

In Rotterdam on Saturday, 22-year-old Frederick Richard delivered the biggest result of his career — the men's floor exercise title at the world gymnastics championships, the first for an American on the event in two decades. His 14.633 edged Britain's defending champion Jake Jarman by just 0.033 points, with Israel's Artem Dolgopyat, an Olympic champion, behind them in a final stacked with the sport's biggest names. Simone Biles watched from the arena as Richard held his nerve through the final routine. The slimmest margin imaginable, on the biggest stage, from a 22-year-old who has spent years building gymnastics' audience as much as his own medal case.
