Fan (and Media) Fave
David Durante is an alternate to the U.S. Olympic team, but his good looks and charismatic personality make him quite popular not only with female fans,but with advertisers and editoral directors as well.
He’s recently been featured in “Vibe,” “Men’s Health” and “Men’s Vogue,” among others. (And he also graced the cover of the September/October 2007 issue of Inside Gymnastics magazine!)
But, for now, Durante’s main focus is fulfilling his role as Team USA’s alternate. “Alternate is a difficult role,” he said. “I was the alternate at the 2006 worlds, and it’s a position I never wanted to be in again. But you take it, and embrace it, and make the best out of it you can.
“My primary goal is to make sure the team succeeds and I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that happens,” Durante added. “If that’s by making my gymnastics better, to keep pushing these guys, that’s what I’ll do.
“You know, I was left out in 2004,” Durante concluded emotionally, “and these past four years, I’ve given everything I have to this sport. And it was worth it. Even if I’d not been named at all, for anything, this whole journey has been incredible. The people I met, the friends I made, the places I’ve been around the world, competing for the United States, has been such an honor—a thing most people will never have the chance to experience. Either way, it’s been a great ride, and … now I’m going to make sure I’m as prepared as possible, in case I have to step in. And we’ll see what happens from there.”
