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

I can't tell the difference to be honest.

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

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?

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

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!
