Due to Covid, very few of these up-and-coming gymnasts have had much Junior competitive experience.
Five gymnasts were also selected to represent the U.S. at the 2021 Junior Pan American Championships June 18-20 in Guadalajara, Mexico:

And Kohei, age-32, for the plus one pick.
In the complicated and very competitive Japanese selection procedure, Kohei tied with Yonekura Hidenobu, the Vault specialist.
Kohei got the tie-breaker for his higher world ranking.
Simone and Kohei Uchimura will be the biggest NAMES in Gymnastics at the Olympics.

Legit score.
Steve wasn’t thrilled with his routine day 1. But he’ll be happy with this one.
He’d quite likely qualify for the Olympic Pommel Final. Some of the best guys in the world didn’t qualify.
Alex Diab would be another good pick. A certain Rings finalist.
Eddie Penev would be the 3rd possible specialist for Floor.
USA doesn’t have a great chance for a team medal in 2021. They COULD select the team to maximize possible Finals. Two AA and 3 specialists with the PLUS 1. But that’s highly unlikely.
