Olympian Frederick Richard is an incredible gymnast and solid TikToker

The men’s Olympic gymnastics team was set on Saturday night as the field was narrowed down to the five men who will compete for Team U.S.A. Frederick Richard, a 20-year-old from Stoughton, Massachusetts, was the first to officially make the squad as he finished atop the standings after the two-day U.S. Olympic Team Trials.

Richard also finished top-three in three events — first on high bar, second on parallel bars and third on floor exercise — but he’s not only a gymnast. The reigning world all-around bronze medalist has quite the presence on social media.

Using the handle @FrederickFlips, Richard has over 660,000 followers on TikTok and shares fun videos of his training and performances.
