Frederick Richard, Brody Malone and more named to men's U.S. Olympic gymnastics team
The men's U.S. Olympic gymnastics team is favored to win their first Olympic medal since 2008.
MINNEAPOLIS — The men’s U.S. Olympic gymnastics team is hoping to be the first to win an Olympic medal since 2008.
The men’s team was named at the U.S. Olympic gymnastics trials in Minneapolis on Saturday: Frederick Richard, Brody Malone, Paul Juda, Asher Hong and Stephen Nedoroscik are going to Paris.
The Olympic alternates are Shane Wiskus and Khoi Young. They barely missed the official team, but are still considered Olympians by the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Olympic medalist Brett McClure, the high performance director for the men’s team, has overhauled the U.S. men’s program since the Tokyo Olympics and said the team is aiming to “control their own destiny” and “make a splash in Paris.”
Selecting an Olympic team, he said, is never easy.
