2021 Winter Cup – Elite Team Cup Live Blog
The 2021 Elite Team Cup takes place Saturday, February 27, as part of the 2021 Winter Cup weekend at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.
The meet is a national competition in which teams from USA Gymnastics men’s artistic regions face off to determine who will take annual bragging rights.
Region 3 has been dominant in recent history, taking the title in each of the last four years. The 2021 squad will be bolstered by two Junior National Team members, Caden Clinton and Asher Hong, who were both significant contributors for last year’s championship team alongside returning team member Cameron Lee. Regional teams featuring fellow Junior National Team members Arun Chhetri (1), Will Fleck (7), Vahe Petrosyan (1) and Kai Uemura (5) will look to end Region 3’s winning streak.
