Kenzo Shirai successfully performed a new trick in the men's vault final at the Rio Olympics on Monday en route to taking home Japan's first medal on the apparatus in 32 years.

Shirai scored 15.449 points after two clean vaults for bronze, finishing behind two-time reigning champion Ri Se Gwang of North Korea, who clinched gold with 15.691, and Russia's Denis Abliazin in second with 15.516.

In the vault final, gymnasts perform two routines each and their final score is the average of the two.
