BIOGRAPHY Jonathan Alan Horton, born December 31, 1985 in Houston, Texas, is an American gymnast. He is a six-time medalist at the U.S. Championships and is a member of the bronze medal winning U.S. team at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Since winning the junior national title in 2003, Horton has developed into one of the top American gymnasts. He won back-to-back American Cup titles in 2006 and 2007. In September 2007, Horton finished fourth at Worlds, just missing a medal but still establishing himself as a legitimate Beijing all-around threat. In 2008 Beijing Olypics, he helped his team propel to a bronze medal. Horton, competing for the University of Oklahoma, has won a school-record five NCAA titles, including the 2006 all-around crown. In 2007, he won individual titles on his best events: high-bar and floor exercise.
As a child, Horton often displayed fearlessness, whether it was riding an electric garage door all the way the top, climbing a pole to the ceiling at a Target store or doing back flips on his parents' bed. Now, he's a self-proclaimed fast driver and is into anything that "gives me a rush." Nicknamed "X-Games," Horton is known for his daring high bar routine. In the future, Horton would like to open his own training facility, become a stuntman or work for USA Gymnastics. View GALLERY:
