FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Brody Malone is officially back.
The two-time national champion surged to the lead at the U.S. men’s gymnastics championships on Thursday, posting an all-around total of 85.950 to build a significant lead over Fred Richard and Donnell Whittenburg.
The 24-year-old Malone - a member of the 2020 Olympic team and a two-time world championship medalist - closed out his night with a 14.900 on the high bar, the same event where he suffered a major right knee injury in Germany in March 2023.
Wearing a bulky brace and a healthy amount of tape, Malone stuck his high bar dismount and let out a massive yell to celebrate after completing his first all-around competition in more than 14 months.
