On the eve of the Tokyo Games, it’s clear that just arriving at this point for some of the world’s greatest athletes was more of a mental-health challenge than it was a physical one. The COVID-19 postponement altered years of training plans, and the uncertain landscape amid the ongoing pandemic only added to lingering anxiety. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson, File)

Roethlisberger was chosen for the U.S. Olympic team. The cutback in NCAA athletic programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic is being felt acutely in men's gymnastics. For decades Division I programs have produced an overwhelming majority of the US Olympic team. The number of Division I programs, however, is shrinking. The University of Minnesota and the University of Iowa will stop offering it as a scholarship sport at the end of the month. That will drop the number of Division I schools to 11.
