“When I grew up, I wanted to be the superhero of gymnastics, just doing things that no one thought was possible.” That’s what Fred Richard told the world before stepping onto the floor at the Winter Cup. Then came the moment, no cape, no mask, just rebellion. Not against gravity, but tradition. On a stage steeped in 130 years of legacy, he ditched the iconic singlet. A loose tank top, shorts, pommel horse pants—his own version of a costume. The flips were there, the landings crisp, but the headlines weren’t about medals. They were about the message. Fast forward to April, Fred Richard, the fearless kid from Stoughton who once inspired awe, is now sparking concern. Now it’s April, and the superhero who celebrated breaking barriers is trying for the next jaw-dropping thing, and that has even his biggest fans concerned. What’s really going on with Fred?
Fred Richard’s next move? Not a new routine but a record attempt. In a recent Instagram Reel posted yesterday, the gymnastics star revealed plans to break the record for most backflips in 24 hours, all to raise funds for African youth gymnasts in need of proper equipment. Admirable? Absolutely.
But fans are holding their breath, “I’m glad it’s for a good cause, but hopefully he knows his limits and doesn’t get injured .” The flips may be endless, but so are the worries.
The story is developing…
