USA Men’s Team for 2007 Worlds

Good luck to Ron Galimore, Ron Brant, Yoishi Tomita and the entire Men’s Program working towards Olympic qualification at Worlds in Germany.

It was not easy selecting the Team. Many hours of discussion were needed to piece together the contributing scores necessary on each of 6 apparatus to achieve the highest score.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 18, 2007 – USA Gymnastics has named the U.S. Men’s Team that will compete in the 2007 World Gymnastics Championships, Sept. 1-9, 2007, in Stuttgart, Germany.
