U.S. Men’s Team to Worlds ’26

Of a number of possible good options, here’s who was selected for Rotterdam in October.

⭐️ Patty Hoopes
⭐️ Dani Leykin
⭐️ Kam Nelson
⭐️ Fred Richard
⭐️ Shane Wiskus

I’m glad Yul is traveling with the team. Experience. Hype. AND he could go in to replace anyone, if needed.

Shelli crunched the numbers concluding that team selection was logical. She’d also be happy if they’d taken Cooper Kim over a Pommel specialist.
