Raj Bhavsar

Bhavsar was picked  for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team for men's gymnastics and was named in the squad after Paul Hamm withdrew due to an injury. Bhavsar showed some character and went on to win the team bronze medal.

Along with an Olympic medal, Bhavsar achievements include 2 world championship silver medals, 3 world cup medals, 3 U.S. national titles, 3 NCAA national titles, 11 years on the senior national team, and the creator of 2 new gymnastics skills, which is now called ‘The Bhavsar’ on rings and parallel bars.

In 2009, Bhavsar retired from the sport he loved and began thinking about the person he wanted to become and the legacy he would leave behind him. Bhavsar who’s never been satisfied pursuing one endeavor, chunked life down into the three facets that define him the most-business, arts, and lifestyle.

Raj Bhavsar can now be clearly defined as an Olympic medalist, actor, entrepreneur, and public speaker.
