Stephen Nedoroscik 15.100

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.

Trevor Howard: From Penn State Gymnastics to the World Team to Disney – GymnasticsVille Podcast

Trevor Howard almost quit gymnastics after missing teams by one place, year after year. His mom told him something that changed everything. What followed was a career most gymnasts only dream about. On this episode of Back to Basics, Trevor sits down with Mubarak Simmons to share his full journey, from growing up in Columbus, Ohio to becoming a 7x All-American and NCAA National Champion at Penn State, to earning a spot on the 2019 World Championships team in Stuttgart alongside Sam Mikulak, Yul Moldauer, and Shane Wiskus. He opens up about the "iron sharpens iron" mindset that got him there, what it was like representing Team USA on the world stage, and how COVID derailed his Olympic path. Today, Trevor performs as a Tumble Monkey in Disney's Festival of the Lion King at Animal Kingdom and runs ETHIICKS, his holistic wellness company built on everything gymnastics taught him. This conversation covers mindset, adversity, purpose, and what it really takes to reach the highest level.

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.
