Bart did not win the all around -- he didn't even win a medal, nor did Gaylord. The men's TEAM won those boycotted games, but Hamm is the first EVER American male to win gold in the Olympic all around.

In '84...

Gushiken (JPN) won gold. Vidmar (USA) won silver. Ning (CHN) won bronze.



Vidmar is the only other American male to ever MEDAL in the Olympic all around.
