Morgan Hurd, Sam Mikulak to compete this weekend in Tokyo

2020 Olympic hopefuls Morgan Hurd and Sam Mikulak will get an early taste of Tokyo at this weekend’s World Cup event.

Hurd, a five-time world medalist, will make her season debut at the all-around event in Tokyo. The 17-year-old from Middletown, Delaware, claimed her second straight world all-around medal last season (a bronze) after winning the world all-around title in 2017. She is considered the top U.S. all-around gymnast after Simone Biles.

Mikulak, a two-time Olympian, won his first individual medal at a Worlds or Olympics last fall, a bronze on high bar. The 26-year-old competed earlier this season at the American Cup, where he finished second in the all-around to teammate Yul Moldauer.
