Rising Star Malone Headlines Men’s Olympic Gymnastics Team
ST. LOUIS Brody Malone tried to block it all out. The stakes. The scores. The noise. His ears wouldn’t cooperate.
So yeah, Malone knew exactly where he was in the standings at the U.S. Olympic Trials on Saturday. In the lead. In control. And comfortable.
Good thing, because the 20-year-old with the soft southern drawl that betrays his Northwest Georgia roots better get used to it. He’s probably going to be there for a while.
Equal parts stoic and spectacular, Malone put on a command performance while racing to victory and the automatic berth on the Olympic team that came with it. Malone’s all-around total of 171.600 was a good three points ahead of Yul Moldauer and the rest of the field.
