I’m pulling for Horton to finally pull out a World’s AA medal, and for Leyva and Brooks to be knocking on the door for a high bar medal! Plus, I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of college gymnastics that has allowed me to witness the Legendre-Penev FX rivalry first hand. Should be cool to see that same rivalry on the world stage! Look for Penev’s perfect whip, triple full dismount!!!
