TOKYO, July 31, 2021 – World team silver medalist Aliaksei Shostak of Lafayette, La., took 13th in the Olympic men’s trampoline competition Saturday at Ariake Gymnastics Centre. Shostak’s first qualifying routine earned a 51.165 but his quest for a medal came to an end when he was unable to complete his second routine. He finished with a combined 82.150.

Unlike many of his fellow competitors at last month’s USA Championships, Aliaksei Shostak, known as simply “Alexi,” didn’t have to worry about qualifying for the Tokyo Olympic Games. He’d already sealed his spot after finishing in the top 10 at the 2019 Trampoline and Tumbling World Championships, earning the lone spot for the American men in trampoline.
