American Cup Preview…Men
Much has been said about the outstanding men’s field at this year’s American Cup. I’d have to agree. We’ve got some of the most exciting all-around competitors from all over the world, not to mention the two gymnasts whom most would call America’s very best right now. I’ll highlight each gymnast below by giving you a few of each guy’s most important stats and one video that I think represents each gymnast well.
Fabian Hambuechen, Germany
2009 American Cup Champion
2009 European All-Around Champion
2008 Olympic High Bar Bronze Medalist
2007 World High Bar Champion
2007 World All-Around Silver Medalist
2006 World All-Around Bronze Medalist
