Black Male Gymnasts. Time for another post on male gymnast hunks. This time, let us check out some black male gymnasts from around the world. We begin with probably the most famous of them all: Louis Smith, British gymnast and reality star. He won a silver medal in the London 2012 Olympics as well as two bronze medal from the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

Next in our list of black male gymnasts is Ron Galimore. Ron has the distinction as the first African-American gymnast to make it to the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team. However, he did not make it to the Games because the U.S. boycotted the 1980 Moscow Games. Galimore was the United States gymnastics champion in floor exercise in 1977, 1979, and 1980. In addition, he was also the U.S. vault champ in 1977, 1979, 1980, and 1981.

You might be better off with just your leotard, no?

Anyhoo, here are some of the answers to your question which we collected for your easy reference:

How Tall Are Male Gymnasts? Earlier, when we were writing the article on Phoenix Suns rookie Alex Len who apparently wanted to become a gymnast before he became a basketball player, we mentioned that tall guys can be gymnasts.
