From CGA:

[td]The 2025 USA Gymnastics Championships are just around the corner, held August 7th-10th in New Orleans, LA . Beyond NCAA competition, there is no other event that includes more current, future, and former CGA affiliated athletes than USAs. The year after and Olympics always sheds new light on the sport. This year there is additional publicity due to the stardom of Stephen Nedoroscik, bolstered by the history bronze medal that Team USA won at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Furthermore, there is a new code of points in play. This new code made a couple of big changes in the sport. Athlete routines will be 20% shorter, and there is an incentive for athletes to show higher difficulty on their dismounts. Of course there are many other changes, but these are two of the big adjustments that fans can look for. An entirely new national team will be selected based on results at this championships, and this will also serve as the first trial for the 2025 World Championships for Team USA. Needless to say, there is a lot on the line at the 2025 USA Gymnastics Championships. There are 55 senior men qualified to compete. Notably absent from these championships are 2024 Olympian, Paul Juda (Michigan), 2024 Olympic alternates, Khoi Young (Stanford) and Shane Wiskus (Minnesota), as well as 2021 Olympian, Yul Moldauer (Oklahoma). Below is a list of all the competing athletes who are affiliated with a CGA member program. *Olympian Ohio State Drake Andrews Kristian Grahovski Kameron Nelson Jesse-Lee Pakalel David Ramirez Parker Thackston Oklahoma Fuzzy Benas Sasha Bogonosiuk Kelton Cristiansen Nick Cruz Alex Deubler Alex Noel Jackson Rendon Nathan Roman Michigan Crew Bold Carson Eshleman Joseph Hale Charlie Larson Aaronson Mansberger Frederick Richard* Stanford Taylor Burkhart Asher Hong* Junnosuke Iwai Brody Malone* Kiran Mandava Joey Nieves David Shamah Michael Sheiner Kai Uemura Colt Walker Nebraska Taylor Christopulos Ethan Cox Chris Heiser Alex Nitache Max Odden Oleksandr Shybitov Tristan Nye Illinois Tate Costa Brandon Dang Alex Diab Preston Ngai Penn State Luke Esparo Josh Karnes Stephen Nedoroscik* Landon Simpson Cal Tyler Shimizu Nathan Underhill

Well if Brody is going to go 16.25 on high bar I guess I'll have to take maybe Burkhart off for him? And Richard is so much better today too.

 

[skschlag]

Richard has to finish in the top 3 aa to even be considered...that vault helped...so I think he might be able to do it.

Ugh well walker fell so now he's ineligible

 

[skschlag]

Not sure how I feel about this rule, but since it is individual worlds, I guess it makes sense.

 

[skschlag]

Congrats to the AA winners and all the event winners! I cannot believe they did not name any NT other than Asher. Thought for sure we would get at least 6-8!

The first criteria for national team is worlds team . The neutral deductions podcast actually predicted this or a similar outcome.

 

[Coach Kate]

Jr. Worlds Team

 

[IreneKa]

Really bummed that Fred is not on the Worlds team. I understand that it's about the individual medals this year, but still... He is one of the strongest members of this national team. Not even name him an alternate??
