Brody Malone won gold on high bar at the 2025 World Championships, leading a U.S. men’s medal sweep.

American gymnast Brody Malone won gold on the high bar at the 2025 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta, scoring 14.933 to claim his second world title on the event. The 25-year-old, who overcame a severe knee injury in 2023, delivered a high-difficulty routine with four release moves and a double-twisting dismount, edging Japan’s Daiki Hashimoto (silver) and Great Britain’s Joe Fraser (bronze). His victory marked the first U.S. men’s medal sweep at a major competition since 1984 and highlighted a strong U.S. team performance, including gold for Donnell Whittenburg on still rings and bronze for Patrick Hoopes on pommel horse.
