Meanwhile on the mat, Fred Richard is one night away from claiming the United States gymnastics national title. The twenty two year old topped Danila Leykin after night one of the U.S. Championships, carrying serious momentum into the final rotation. After his Paris Olympic run turned heads worldwide, Richard looks every bit like a champion ready to make it official on home soil.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
