Akash Modi may be called upon to step up and represent his country at the Olympic games in Rio.
Akash Modi just finished up his junior year at Stanford… and now he hears he’s heading to Rio this summer as an alternate for the US Men’s Gymnastics Team. Chances are he does not compete and only trains with the elite—but talk about a memorable summer studies abroad program.
Modi had a great showing, finishing 4th All-Around after two days of competition out in St. Louis for the Olympic Trials.
Except, All-Around accolades at a meet like this are somewhat misleading.
