USA Gymnastics Dominates Day 4’s Podiums

There were plenty of medals to be won by both the men’s and women’s gymnastics athletes today, starting with Robert Neff, who shocked Twitter after winning silver in the floor exercise and pommel horse competitions.

USA Gymnastics wasn’t done, however, as Riley McCusker and Leanne Wong made the podium in the uneven bars final. McCusker took home her second medal at Lima 2019 – this time a gold after posting a score of 14.533. Wong followed closely with a 14.300.

Two More Huge Quota Spots For USA Shooting

Brian Burrows and Derek Haldeman won gold and silver, respectively in men's trap shooting, and, in doing so, earned two quota spots for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Olympic shooting star Kim Rhode conducted a little impromptu interview of her teammates on how it feels to earn a spot for your sport at the Games for the first time since 2008.

Outside Of Competition

When they aren't competing, athletes are training, getting to know one another in the athlete village and even getting out to see the sites. Luckily for us, they have also been sharing on social media. USA Bowling athlete Stefanie Johnson and her teammates got the opportunity to see what Lima has to offer.

Boxing's Ginny Fuchs knew she advanced, so she has her sites set on the finals.
