Event 2025 US Nationals Men Day 1 (Thursday, August

[Passion]

What would Hoopes score be without the bonus?
Nice to see Walker get the highest score on parallel bars

IIRC he had a little over .7 in bonus

 

[Puffin]

I can't tell the difference to be honest.

Yeah - It just looks like he bought a uniform 3 sizes to big

 

[QuietColours]

Does he plan to push to do this when competing internationally? I can't see USAG (or his teammates) being thrilled if his uniform deduction is the difference between making finals/medaling or not.

I’d really like to see Donnell go to Worlds and kick ass. I hope he fits into the team.

He’s going to be automatically locked onto the team just by winning still rings on Saturday. He’s currently in 1st, about .3 ahead of Asher Hong in 2nd.

I don’t think he has said, but everyone has to wear the same thing for team competitions, regulation or not. Like one girl can’t wear a full length leo and the others regular Leo’s, even though both are acceptable within the rules.

I’d imagine USAG has their own rules about everyone having to wear the official USA gear they’re given for international competitions, especially since there are specific contracts with sponsors involved.

I remember Frederick saying in a video that he would not dress differently from the team in major international meets, but do not remember which one. Does anyone else share that memory?

 

[Rebel]

Where are Khoi and Paul? Guess I have missed that info. Thanks.

 

[rlayt]

I’m confused about the uniform deal. I know he said somewhere that the uniforms looked gay or that the gay appearance made boys not want to do gymnastics. I don’t see it. That attitude is an old holdover and paying attention to it is bowing to toxic masculinity notions of what boys should wear. JMO!

 

[KorbutFan]

He’s not exactly selling the sport wearing what he does now either. Honestly I think his ‘new’ uniform looks a mess.

 

[Passion]

The best way to promote men's gymnastics in the US would be to go to the World Championships before the Olympics and win everything. Let NBC spend a year running commercials with you in them, be a favorite to win gold so NBC features men's gym in a premier time slot, and then win at the Olympics the one time every four years America is actually looking at you.

That's the only way this sport is getting more attention here. By bringing home gold medals. Not by wearing special tights.

 

[Indy]

I think Frederick’s outfit is better than Winter Cup but I still don’t like it, the tights are so busy. They would look better if they matched his shorts. It really just seems like a lot of self promotion. Hopefully it’s worth it with the neutral deductions he’s getting.
