HOFFMAN ESTATES, ILL. » Americans Morgan Hurd and Yul Moldauer won allaround gold medals Saturday at the America Cup, the first major international gymnastics competition of 2018.
Hurd is a 16-year-old high school junior from Middletown, Delaware. She won her second major international all-around title with a consistent performance, outscoring runnerup Mai Murakami of Japan 56.599-55.633.
Hurd is 4-foot-5 and wears eyeglasses when she competes because contacts hurt her eyes. She also won gold on the beam and tied for top honors on the floor and bars. She took the allaround at the world championships in Montreal in October.
“I definitely took a lot away from worlds,” Hurd said. “I definitely feel a lot calmer and I focus on staying in the moment . ... Now coming in a lot more is expected of me but I’m ready for it.”
The 21-year-old Moldauer is the reigning national champion from Norman, Oklahoma. He completed the U.S. sweep, winning the men’s all-around while placing in the top three in all six events to repeat his 2017 American Cup championship.
