Two Mass. gymnasts secure spots on U.S. men’s Olympic team
Two gymnasts from Massachusetts will represent the U.S. at the Paris Olympics this summer.
They secured their spots on the men’s Olympic gymnastics team on Saturday night with stellar performances at the Olympic Trials in Minneapolis.
Frederick Richard, from Stoughton, and Stephen Nedoroscik, from Worcester, are going to Paris.
NBC10 Boston’s Bianca Beltran spoke to them after the Olympic dreams came true.
“I’m excited because I can’t wait to represent Boston, represent the country and bring home medals,” Richard said.
Richard came to Minneapolis hungry for a spot on Team USA. And he clinched it automatically by finishing first in the all-around and top three in three events during the trials.
“Honestly, I think tonight was all about gratitude and gratefulness, like remembering my younger self and how proud he would be to be in this position today,” Richard said, “so I felt like today was just a celebration, a party and just all about gratitude.”
Celebrating with him was Nedoroscik.
“I’m beyond excited — I’m so happy!” the 25-year-old said.
For the pommel horse specialist, it all came down to one event.
“To all you guys back home, I made it. I did it,” Nedoroscik said. “I did the childhood dream. I’m so excited. I’m going to make you all proud.”
On Sunday night, the women return to the arena, and that’s when we find out which of them will be going to Paris.

Cloudy Saturday before a hot and humid Sunday with probable storms
Cloudy afternoon ahead form much of New England with increasing humidity through this evening. A bit unsettled to the north with the shower risk staying confined on a line from western MA into Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine while much of the day with southern New England stays on the dry side.
Temperatures in the mid to upper 70s south, upper 60s to low 70s north.
Cloudy and muggy overnight tonight with scattered showers and downpours developing mainly after midnight, a few rumbles of thunder as well, but not expecting any severe storms. Temperatures in the upper 60s to around 70.
Hot and humid Sunday with some morning showers and thunderstorms possible. Our focus will be between the hours of 12pm and 8pm as a cold front slices through the region spawning up a line of thunderstorms which have the potential to be strong to severe.
The main threat with these storms is damaging wind and hail as well the potential for localized flooding which has prompted us to issue a First Alert for Sunday. Things settle down Sunday night with cooler temperatures, in the 70s and drier air moving in to start the new work week, though an isolated shower isn’t out of the question Monday afternoon.
As we peek into the rest of the Holiday week, we stay on the seasonable side Tuesday and Wednesday with a warmer temperatures and the risk for afternoon showers and storms Independence Day…still some time to tweak that portion of the forecast!
Have a great Saturday!

Symptoms of measles include high fever, cough, runny nose, and watery eyes several days before developing a body rash.
Authorities say anyone who shows symptoms should call their healthcare provider before visiting an office, clinic, or emergency department.
“Measles is a highly contagious airborne disease that has seen an increase in cases and outbreaks worldwide,” said Public Health Commissioner Robbie Goldstein, MD, PhD. “People who are not vaccinated are at greater risk of infection. The best way for people to protect themselves from this disease is to make sure they are vaccinated.”
