Although he could not defend his gold medal title from the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Eleftherios Petrounias still scored a podium finish at Monday’s men’s rings finals.

Greece’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ had some very slight stability issues during his artistic gymnastics performance, scoring a total of 15.200.

China took out first and second place, with Yang Liu scoring 15.500 and his compatriot Hao You scoring 15.300.

Athenian Petrounias is one of Greece’s most decorated athletes of the 21st century.
