Alexander Vladimirovich "Sasha" Artemev who turns 23 on August 29th, ended his first Olympic experience yesterday and began paving the way toward London 2012, breaking out a new routine in his signature event.
Born in Minsk, USSR, Alexander moved to the United States in 1994 when he was 9. On August 7, he was added to the team, replacing injured Morgan Hamm. Together with his teammates, Artemev won the bronze medal in men's team gymnastics in Beijing. Artemev's dazzling performance on the pommel horse, the last routine for the team, locked the Americans in third place.
