Men Allen Bowers - the only male alternate not named to national team

This is so sad. Somehow it posted twice. Sorry.

That is just so, so messed up. Have they stated any reasoning for this?

Out of 10 gymnasts named to the Olympic team or as alternates. He was the only one not to be given funding or to be invited to the worlds selection camp. They finally relented and are giving him funding until the end of the Olympics.

So, reading this info can explain why. Doesn't make it right.

Horrible. Dedicated gymnast. And if chosen to the team - if someone happens to drop out - he would likely provide stellar numbers on FX, Vault and, most importantly, Pommel Horse.
