Douglas and Raisman were a part of the “Fierce Five” U.S. women’s gymnastics squad that took home the team gold medal in London.
Danell Leyva, who earned a bronze medal for Team USA in the men’s all-around at the 2012 London Games, headlines the field for the 2016 P&G Men’s Gymnastics Championships. Leyva is joined by Sam Mikulak, who aims for his fourth consecutive U.S. all-around title. Newcomer Donnell Whittenburg, who was second at the 2016 AT&T American Cup, is also expected to be a contender.
