Gymnastics career

[edit]

Hoopes placed 4th on pommel horse at the 2023 U.S. National Gymnastics Championships.[1]

2024

[edit]

Hoopes competed at the 2024 Winter Cup where he won gold on the pommel horse.[2] This performance led to his selection for the Baku World Cup.[3] At this competition, he made his international debut and placed 6th on pommel horse.[4]

In April, he competed at the NCAA Championships and became the NCAA champion on pommel horse.[5][6]

At the U.S. National Championships, he won silver on the pommel horse, behind Stephen Nedoroscik.[7] As a result, he was selected to the senior national team for the second time and qualified for the 2024 Olympic Trials.[8][9] At the Olympic Trials, he won gold on pommel horse and was selected as a non-traveling reserve for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[10][11]

2025

[edit]

Hoopes competed at the 2025 Winter Cup where he placed second on pommel horse behind Brandon Dang.[12] He competed at numerous World Cups in early 2025, winning silver in Baku behind Dang, placing fourth in Antalya, and winning bronze in Cairo behind Hamlet Manukyan and Gabriele Targhetta.[13][14]

At the NCAA Championships, he successfully defended his title on pommel horse.[15] Hoopes was selected to represent the United States at the World University Games alongside Colt Walker, Tate Costa, Alex Nitache, and Kai Uemura.[16] While there he won bronze on pommel horse behind Manukyan and Daiki Hashimoto.[17][18] In August, Hoopes competed at the National Championships where he won his first national title on pommel horse. After the competition, he was selected to compete at the 2025 World Championships alongside Dang, Asher Hong, Brody Malone, Kameron Nelson, and Donnell Whittenburg.[19] He hoped to upgrade his dismount ahead of World Championships which would give him one of the highest difficulty scores in the world on the pommel horse.[20]

At the World Championships, Hoopes qualified for the pommel horse final in third place behind Nariman Kurbanov and Hong Yanming.[21] During the event final Hoopes won the bronze medal behind Hong and Mamikon Khachatryan.[22]
