Kevin Mazeika investigated by USAG

He’s on the “Pending Resolution” list.

“No Unsupervised Contact with Minors.”

Kevin Mazeika was head coach of the 2004 and 2008 U.S. Men’s Olympic Teams and National Team Coordinator from 2009-2016.

GBR Men’s team to Tokyo?

Best chance of an Olympic medal for GBR in Tokyo is Max Whitlock on Pommels.

At the most recent Olympic trial he scored 15.350 with a 6.8 start.

BUT if you select a one apparatus specialist for the Olympics on a 4 man team, is your goal still to score as high as possible in Team?

Or should you send those who have a chance at finals including James Hall in the AA. James scored 86.200 in that trial.

Tough decisions for coach Paul Hall and the selectors.

coach Lee Woolls

One of the coaches I admire most is Lee Woolls from the UK.

P Bar world champion Joe Fraser surprised him with a special gift.
