. . . thanks for sharing this wonderful achievement with us, E!

You must be very proud of his accomplishments--sounds like he is on the road to the Olympics. Can't wait to see him representing the US in 2 years!

thanks all.  The Olympic team is the dream of all young gymnasts but the fact is that 5 guys every four years are pretty bad odds.  It is all about a sport he loves and the journey.  Where it ends up is anyones guess.

Eugene, I'll bet you can still take him in a Sumo match.  :smt003

wrestling a gymnast is like wrestling a snake.  They bend in ways that normal folks don't bend.  I have to rely on old age and treachery  :smt003
