And yes, America is a land of opportunity but you have to work for it. If it means coaching level 4's, cleaning toilets at the gym, or working at McDonald's, then that's what you gotta do.

This is why people have been coming to the US for generations. Freedom to do what you like. I hope he can find some sort of sponsorship. Glad he is still training.

There are plenty of guys who can do 6.6+ vaults and 6.0+ floor routines. Floor and vault specialists should not be a priority for the US. What the US needs are guys who can do pommel horse.

When they slowed down the video to show the first guy's vault, it totally sounded like the soundtrack from some movie. OMG.
