Olympian Kevin Penev interview

Kevin Penev was as surprised as anyone when he landed the best Vaults of his career and qualified on that apparatus to the Paris Olympics as an Olympian.

What Makes You Think has a new interview with Kevin on how that happened at Antwerp Worlds. And his life training in Bulgaria.

Kevin was the only gymnast in the Final not already qualified in some other way for Paris.

Therefore, he simply had to compete to get the ticket.
