Kevin Mazeika is the new national team coordinator of U.S men's gymnastics team.

Mazeika led the U.S. men to back-to-back Olympic gymnastics medals for the first time. In his new role, he will manage and supervise the technical side of the junior and senior men's national teams. Martha Karolyi has a similar job with the women's national team.
