BROWN DEER, Wis. — At Infinite Gymnastics in Brown Deer, Wis., young boys are eager to emulate their Olympic heroes.

9-year-old George Kunath said he has found fresh inspiration.

“I just think that they’re really good, and I want to be as good as them one day,” said Kunath. “I want to be in the Olympics, too.”

14-year-old Quinn Edwards is also aiming high.

“It’s really cool,” said Edwards. “Seeing all the Olympians and like, ‘Hey, I could maybe do that someday.’”

Mitch Connor, a former gymnast and the boys’ team director at Infinite Gymnastics, said he is determined to create the next generation of champions.

“Our boys have been very excited,” said Connor. “We’ve had it on every day and have been breaking down skills and saying, ‘Hey, look at that. Look into that and see if you can see some of the skills you’re working and these.’”

Connor said it’s not just about gymnastics. He said it also teaches these young men some valuable life lessons.

“I relate gymnastics and life skills,” said Connor. “I relate those two together a lot.”

For these young athletes, the Paris Olympics have become a roadmap to success and failure.

“Brody Malone, I think on high bar when he fell twice, that it was very powerful to finish his routine,” said Kunath.

As the spotlight shines brighter on men’s gymnastics, these boys said they feel a sense of belonging.

“I do feel more seen because more people are watching the boys,” said Kunath.

It’s become a new era for men’s gymnastics.

“I think it’s like actually on people’s radar because they are like, ‘Hey that’s actually really cool,’” said Edwards.
