Simone Biles Gold Over America Tour gets Brody Malone
MINNEAPOLIS — Brody Malone is joining Simone Biles’ tour.
Malone’s name has been added to the lineup of gymnasts for the Gold Over America Tour, joining Frederick Richard and Casimir Schmidt of the Netherlands. There were no male gymnasts on the tour after the Tokyo Olympics, with Biles telling The Associated Press she wanted the focus to be on female empowerment.
“This time around we’re like ‘OK, that worked but let’s do it a little bit differently, let’s invite the men,'” she said.
The 30-city tour begins Sept. 17 and runs through Nov. 3.
Who will make U.S. men’s gymnastics Olympic team?
If Brody Malone has a similar showing at trials that he had at the U.S. championships in early June, he’s on his way to Paris. Ditto for Fred Richard, who was second at nationals, first on floor exercise and second on high bar. Khoi Young was poised to make the team with a strong performance at trials, but he had a disastours Day 1 outing.
The contenders are Tokyo Olympians Yul Moldauer and Shane Wiskus; Paul Juda, a member of last year’s world team; and Donnell Whittenburg, a two-time medalist at the world championships and 2016 alternate. Also keep your eye on Cameron Bock, Colt Walker and Asher Hong.
If the selection committee decides it is solid enough elsewhere but needs a big score on pommel horse, it could go with Stephen Nedoroscik, the 2021 world champion on the event; or Patrick Hoopes.
Frederick Richard at U.S. Olympic gymnastics trials
Frederick Richard let out a big smile as he left the floor Thursday night, pumping his fists. Richard, the reigning world bronze medalist, had plenty to celebrate. His marvelous floor routine had just put him atop the all-around leaderboard after the first night of the U.S. Olympic gymnastics trials with a score of 85.600, narrowly ahead of three-time national champ Brody Malone.
