The US Gymnastics Olympic Trials 2024 is all set to take place later this month between June 27 and 30 in Minneapolis. The event will be the major determining tournament that will shape up the US Olympic men's and women's gymnastics team.
In the men's division of the trials, Brody Malone, the 2022 World Championships gold medalist in Horizontal Bars will lead the way after his formidable performance at the recently concluded Xfinity US Gymnastics Championships. The Tennessee native produced a staggering performance on Saturday in Texas as he clinched the all-around title with 172.300 points.
It was a very emotional moment for Malone as he scripted an amazing comeback after the three surgeries that he had to go through last year. Following his title win, Malone stated in the post-match interview:
"It just feels amazing to be able to - with everything I've gone through - be able to come back and make a comeback like I have and be competitive enough to be on the top again."
Following Malone in the all-around list were Fred Richard and Khoi Young with 170.250 and 169.550 points respectively. Owing to these superb performances Richard and Young too have earned a place at the US Gymnastics Olympic Trials 2024 in Minneapolis.
Other prominent gymnasts to feature in the men's division of the trials are Donnel Whitteburg from Salto Gymnastics and Yul Moldauer from 5280 Gymnastics.
