Please refresh every few minutes for the most recent updates which will appear at the top of the page. This is the live blog for the Jr. Men at the 2023 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships. Live Stream and Live Scoring links are at the bottom!
Junior Men compete a little differently than seniors. They only have eight counting skills per routine and there are actually two separate groups of juniors competing (those age 15/16 and those age 17/18). Eighteen year olds can choose to compete as juniors or seniors.
