Five spots are up for grabs on the U.S. men's squad as gymnastics trials begin in Minneapolis. Among those vying for a spot is Brody Malone, who's working to recover from a devastating knee injury.
Olympic gymnastics trials kicked off in Minneapolis on Thursday, with reigning world all-around bronze medalist Frederick Richard leading the men’s competition. Richard, 20, a Massachusetts native, is not only a star on the floor exercise, but he also has a dedicated following on TikTok, where he documents his journey as an Olympic hopeful. He placed first on floor and high bar and third on parallel bars. Last year, he also led the U.S.
Khoi Young, who was also a member of the bronze medal-winning team last year, topped the standings on the vault for the night with a 14.950 but fell twice on the ever-fickle pommel horse. Yul Moldauer also climbed back from a fall on the pommel horse, scoring a world-class 15.050 on the high bar. Parallel bars phenom Curran Phillips scored a 15.600 on the event — a score that would have won the gold medal at last year's world championships.
