when you don’t make the Olympic team
Danell Leyva was the Bronze medalist all around at the London Olympics. This time he’s one of the reserves for Team USA:

That’s a classy guy.
Here’s another classy guy.
Mikulak, Brooks, Dalton, Naddour, Orozco
No Whittenburg?
I’m surprised.
USA is leaving several potential Olympic medalists at home in order to improve their team score.
A team medal is a long shot. Bringing individual apparatus medalists would have been another strategy.
Sam Mikulak of Newport Coast, Calif./Team Hilton (U.S. Olympic Training Center), earned a berth to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after posting the highest four-day all-around total, a 362.750, at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials …
The complete men’s U.S. Olympic Team, pending United States Olympic Committee approval, is comprised of: Chris Brooks of Houston, Texas/Team Hilton (U.S. Olympic Training Center); Jake Dalton of Sparks, Nev./Team Hilton (University of Oklahoma); Mikulak; Alex Naddour of Queen Creek, Ariz./Team Hilton (USA Youth Fitness); and John Orozco of Bronx, N.Y./Team Hilton (U.S. Olympic Training Centre) …
But I am thrilled for John Orozco. You’ve got to love a guy who’s so open about his life.
