top American Junior gymnasts going to Japan

This is unofficial. But, posted by Glen’s Dad, it’s official enough for me.

From the USA VISA Championships competition in Houston this past weekend.

The top 7 juniors (age groups combined) in rank order are:

1. Glen Ishino (87.15),
2. Alexy Bilozertchev (86.05),
3. John Orosco (86.00),
4. Danell Leyva (85.90),
5. Sam Mikulak (84.45),
6. Donathan Bailey (84.25) and
7. CJ Maestas (84.00).

This ranking identified the gymnasts who are going on the Japan Training Camp with Yoichi Tomita for ten days beginning June 23rd.

With these super talents coming up, I don’t think American Men’s gymnastics has ever been this deep.

Dmitri was, by age-16 in 1983, World Champion. The best young male gymnast of all-time. I see some similarities in style with his son, but even more differences.

Note: the last name can be spelled many different ways.
