(Reuters) - Four-time national champion Sam Mikulak overcame a bad start to lead the standings after Thursday's Olympic trials for the U.S. men's gymnastics team in St. Louis, virtually securing his spot for the Rio Games.

Mikulak delivered on a crucial day, finishing first in floor exercise and vault and was second in pommel horse. It was good enough to give him a cumulative three-day score of 272.150.
