Osim toga, Artem Dolgopjat je tek drugi izraelski sporstista koji je osvojio zlatnu medalju u bilo kom sportu na Olimpijakim igrama. Pre njega to je uspelo još samo Galu Fridmanu u jedrenju u Atini 2004. godine.

Dolgopjat je u borbi za najsjajnije odlične pobedio Španca Rajderleja Zapatu (14.933), kome je pripalo drugo mesto i srebna medalja, dok je treći bio Kinez Ksijao Ruoteng (14.766).
