Konnor McClain, rising U.S. gymnast, focuses on 2024 Olympic cycle

Konnor McClain, a U.S. gymnast who would not have been old enough for an Olympics in 2020 but became age-eligible when the Tokyo Games were postponed to 2021, will not compete in the national championships or the Olympic Trials this month.

McClain, who recently changed gyms to move from West Virginia to WOGA in Texas, is focusing on the next Olympic cycle, possibly beginning with the world championships in October in Japan, her mom said Wednesday, confirming an Inside Gymnastics report.

“We’re just trying to get her back on track. It has been a long year,” Lorinda McClain said.
