The members of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Men’s Gymnastics Team are:
Joe Hagerty, Rio Ranchero, N.M./Team Chevron
Morgan Hamm, Waukesha, Wis./Team Chevron
Paul Hamm, Waukesha, Wis./Team Chevron
Jonathan Horton, Houston/Team Chevron
Justin Spring, Burke, Va./Team Chevron
Kevin Tan, Fremont, Calif./Team ChevronThe three replacement athletes are:
Alexander Artemev, Lakewood, Colo./Team Chevron
Raj Bhavsar, Houston/Team Chevron
David Durante, Garwood, N.J./Team Chevron
TKO argues in the comments that Artemev, even with one fall on pommel horse, can score in the top 3 in Team finals on that apparatus.
The alternates know they still have a shot at getting on the competing team. Much depends on how well Paul comes back from his hand surgery.
I would never have predicted that Justin Spring would be named to the A Team. But now Olympic fans will get to see just how dynamic and explosive he is.
