Men Team USA: Paul Juda

[Passion]

Usually I would copy and paste the entire article here but this is really well done as it is. Article on the Olympic Channel website by Scott Bregman.

There’s also a 3 minute “fluff piece” segment with Paul that I can’t directly embed here because it’s just on the Olympic Channel site itself not youtube, but it’s also well done and I recommend watching it.

No log ins required for either link, anyone can click and read/watch.

Mentioned in the article: The pommel horse routine performed at the Friendship and Solidarity competition (Nov 2020, Japan) that prompted Kohei Uchimura to tell Paul “You are the flare master!”

That was pretty. I was getting Urzica vibes.

I haven’t seen flares like that since Sasha Artemev.
