Leyva, Orozco look like Olympians

That’s the way it looks to Ron Noe:

John Orozco picked up where he left off last October at the World Championships. Orozco is the Day 1 leader at Winter Cup, after a day of many lackluster performances, especially on pommel horse. He needed a 15.45 on his last event (vault) to tie 1st session leader Chris Brooks, and he ended up with a 15.60 to give him 89.35 for the day. …

Overall, Leyva fell three times and still finished in 3rd place (87.65). He is definitely showing improvement on FX and SR, making him (and Orozco) a lock for the Olympic Team. …

Ron sees David Sender as having a shot at the team, too. Cool.

Paul Hamm will likely get one of 3 Wild Card spots on National Team. But that’s certainly not guaranteed. The USA has a LOT of Olympic contenders.
