The Olympic Trials come as USA Gymnastics is in the midst of a complete overhaul, driven by USAG President and CEO Li Li Leung.
Sixteen women and 20 men are vying for five spots on their respective teams.
Seven of the women who entered, Simone Biles, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Kayla DiCello, Shilese Jones, Sunisa Lee, and Leanne Wong have previously competed at an Olympic trials.In the men's competition, Cameron Bock, Alex Diab, Paul Juda, Brody Malone, Yul Moldauer, Stephen Nedoroscik, Donnell Whittenburg, and Shane Wiskus are Olympic trial veterans.The athletes have won 92 medals in Olympic or World Championships competitions, including 15 Olympic medals and 77 World Championships medals.
"We're so excited to see the men performing so well. It's the first time they've medaled in terms of a team in almost the last decade. For them to take bronze in Antwerp at the last World Championships is a sign that they are riding the wave in terms of a positive trajectory," Leung said.Brody Malone competes on the rings during the U.S. gymnastics championships Saturday, June 1, 2024, in Fort Worth, Texas.
"Overall, I would say the culture of the sport has completely changed in terms of: 1) being really focused on safety and 2) being focused on the positivity of the sport," Leung said."We meet with athletes' counsel, who represent the athlete body, on a monthly basis, and we continue to solicit their feedback. As long as athletes are feeling healthy and happy, then we know that we've done our job. We also look at it in terms of performance on the field of play.
