1984

He then qualified for the Olympic Games during the Olympic trials held from June 1–3, 1984 in Jacksonville Florida.

Two of the moves in his arsenal going into the Games were invented by and named for him—the Gaylord flip and the Gaylord II.

In the 1984 Summer Olympic Games, Gaylord led the gold-medal-winning U.S. men's gymnastics team, becoming the first American gymnast to score a perfect 10.00 in the Olympics.

He also won the silver medal in vault, the bronze in parallel bars and the bronze in the rings.

In addition to his individual accolades, Gaylord led the US men's gymnastics team to a gold medal in the team competition for the first and only time in Olympics history.

The moment was heralded as a significant upset over the teams from China and Japan.

After the 1984 Olympics he and his fellow Olympic gymnasts went on a six-month promotional tour across the US, selling out arenas in about two dozen American cities.
