My older DS is frustrated with the posters that come in the USAG magazines as far as male gymnasts. He would like a nice (but not too expensive) poster of Sam Mikulak or Kohei Uchimura or similar in action (rather than posed) for inspiration. I am not finding anything like that with how I am searching online. Lots of pictures to look at online, just no posters he could hang on his wall. Any ideas on where to look?

You could also just choose a high-resolution picture and have it printed at your local Officeworks or equivalent. Not too expensive, and you have a lot of choice!
 
That sounds like a great idea! We have Office Max and Staples and Kinkos and I imagine any could do that. So, please excuse my ignorance, but where would I choose a high resolution picture?
 
You can use Google search! Type in your search terms e.g. "Sam Mikulak" as usual, then select "images". On the right-hand side, directly underneath the search bar, is a button labelled "tools". Select that, and options will appear. The one you want is "size". A good resolution will be upwards of 4MP, or approximately 2000px, but you want the highest resolution possible and larger than that is absolutely better.

A quick search myself yields lots of possible choices, mostly of pommel horse for both Kohei and Sam, which is a little strange. I selected a couple which might be contenders (not embedded as the sizes are obviously large):

Wow thanks so much, and thanks for not making fun of my cluelessness!

That is funny about pommel. Not exactly what they are best known for. Pommel is actually one of my son's favorite events so we shall see.
