Light the Torch – Beijing Olympics and Other Olympic News

Who is Raj Bhavsar?

by Sandy Mitchell on July 30th, 2008

2008 Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships

When Paul Hamm announced earlier in the week that he wouldn’t be able to compete in the Beijing Games due to a wrist injury, US men’s gymnastic team alternate, Raj Bhavsar joined the team. But, who is this new man on the Olympic team?

Actually, he’s not that new. Bhavsar, a Houston native, was part of two Olympic Silver Medal teams and served as an alternate for the Athens Games, a disappointment that almost caused him to give up the sport. The 27-year-old Bhavsar’s best event is the rings.
