Mike and Myles Tackle Men’s Gymnastics
Posted on 16 June 2009 by admin
Featured on the USOC website, the irreverent Mike and Myles Show took to the gym to find out exactly how tough men’s gymnastics really is. Mike Blatchford and Myles Porter both train at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO. Blatchford is an Olympic Track cyclist and Porter is a visually-impaired Paralympian in judo.
This year they have teamed together to put together funny videos of them trying other Olympic sports like figure skating, fencing, weightlifting, shooting and wrestling. The final video of the series is men’s gymnastics. For this segment, they were ably assisted by resident gymnast Andrew Elkind and 2009 JO Nationals AA Champion Allan Bower. Mike and Myles attempted every event except for high bar and floor.
