Yul Moldauer built such a lead that he could fall and still win the P&G Gymnastics Championships all-around. Turns out, he needed that cushion.
Moldauer, a rising University of Oklahoma junior, overcame a tumble off the high bar to win his first national title in Anaheim, Calif., on Saturday.
He entered with a 1.95-point lead from the first night of competition Thursday. He ended it up one point over OU teammate Allan Bower after 12 routines over two days.
“It’s indescribable,” Moldauer, who fell on his first routine Saturday, said on NBCSN.
