3 Minutes With Danell Leyva

So USAG will only allow me to post a total of 3 minutes of interviews for each session, and I used it all on Danell Leyva, because he’s awesome. The youngster came out in tonight’s second session and finished 3rd AA out of the 77 competitors. If he does this again Saturday he’ll be on the senior team for sure.
