Sam Mikulak is going to enter his third Olympics but is yet to win a medal. He is the leader of the squad and has a great record in the events that have happened in the USA. Tokyo Olympics 2020 will also be his last Olympics as he will retire after 2021. He came fourth in the all-around category and hence was selected by the selection committee.

Brody Malone is the best male gymnast in Team USA. He came first as was the top all-around finisher, with his best scores coming in the high bar. Malone is the one who broke Mikulak’s streak of winning USA’s all-around titles for six years. He is yet to make his international debut and will do it in Tokyo. He is a possible event finalist on high bar, vault, and still rings.
