It could be just as easy and accurate to call the USA men’s gymnastics squad Team Oklahoma, given that three members of the five-man U.S. team plus the head coach all have ties to the University of Oklahoma.
Two members of the U.S. men’s team qualified for the all-around finals, and one of the two is former Oklahoma gymnast and All-American Chris Brooks, who finished 19th in the qualifying round on Saturday. Brooks was at OU from 2005-09 and was a member of the 2008 Sooner national championship squad.
A pair of other former Sooner gymnasts qualified on Saturday for individual event finals later this week.
