FORT WORTH, Texas — Brody Malone completed his comeback from major reconstructive right knee surgery by winning his third national gymnastics title on Saturday.
Malone did more than that, backing up an impressive return on Thursday with an even better performance 48 hours later. His scores on three events — still rings, pommel horse and parallel bars — were higher on Saturday and 11 of his 12 routines scored at least 14.000, offering tangible proof he has the endurance required to headline a U.S. squad hoping to finish on the Olympic podium for the first time since 2008.Skye Blakely ‘shut down’ after the 2021 Olympic trials.
While Malone, Richard and Young figure to be close to locks to make it to Paris provided they stay healthy, there are plenty of questions behind them.
