Boys gymnastics programs are hard to find. That affects the U.S. Olympic pipeline

Boys gymnastics faces significant challenges in the U.S., including a lack of programs, coaches, and equipment, leading to a decline in participation. Despite the popularity of gymnastics during the Olympics, many boys teams are shutting down, and the gender imbalance in the sport is widening. However, some programs, like the Arlington Tigers, are thriving and providing opportunities for young male gymnasts. Efforts are being made to increase participation and support for boys gymnastics, but the sport's future remains uncertain.
