Brody Malone became a three-time all-around national champion on Saturday night at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in Fort Worth, Texas.

Malone was participating in the national championships for the first time since 2022 after working his way back from a fractured right leg, an injury he sustained in a World Cup event in Germany last year. He also shredded his meniscus and tore two ligaments in his right knee.

But he was back in business on Saturday, maintaining a Day 1 lead by posting a total score of 172.300.

Fred Richard came in second with a 170.250, while Khoi Young landed in third with a 169.550. Yul Moldauer and Shane Wiskus, who each finished with an overall score of 168.200, rounded out the top five.

Malone has won the men's all-around national title in three of the past four years, only missing out on it in 2023 due to his leg injury.
