Men American Men's Gymnastics

[BJM123]

Ok...this is my first time here and I have to say that my FAVORITE American Men's Gymnasts are (1) Frederick Richards: his skill and tenacity, are at the very top of current American Men's Gymnastics right now, (2) Donnell Whittenburg's resilience and perseverance is unparalleled in American Men's Gymnastics-it's time for him to make an Olympic team!!!! He made history as: A: the oldest American male titleholder in Jakarta, B: the 1st African American Male to win Gold on rings, C: the first American man PERIOD to achieve this title, (3) Asher Hong, his records and determination and grit are NOT to be discounted!!!!!!!! I think that in 2028, the American Men WILL challenge for Team Gold and even individual Gold!

Aren’t B and C a bit redundant?

Welcome @BJM123 . That's a very enthusiastic post!

I have to say — Donnell Whittenburg was already a fan favorite, but I think that the gold medal on rings lifted up his popularity more than ever. If he continues to 2028, he'll be one of my hopes for the team for sure! And the great thing is that he can do 5 events quite well, so a Pommel Horse specialist is a good balance to his position on a team.
