MINNEAPOLIS — The men's U.S. Olympic gymnastics team is favored to win their first 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.
Despite struggling on his best event, the high bar, in the first rotation, Malone had a strong all-around showing and made his second Olympic team. He missed last season after battling a serious knee injury, which nearly extinguished his Paris hopes. Nedoroscik punched his Paris ticket with just one pommel horse routine. He is a world champion on the apparatus and could contend for a medal in Paris.
