Teenager Asher Hong wins first men’s national gymnastics title

Asher Hong won his first men's national gymnastics title on Saturday night, posting a two-day total of 170.930 to edge college teammate Khoi Young and Fred Richard. The 19-year-old Hong, a sophomore at Stanford, is the first teenager to win a men's all-around national championship since John Orozco in 2012. Hong, who finished third behind two-time national champion Brody Malone a year ago, led after the opening night on Thursday but fell behind early in the finals after a so-so performance on the pommel horse.
