Jair Lynch
Jair K. Lynch (born October 2, 1971) is an American gymnast and real estate developer in Washington, D.C., in the United States. He won a silver medal in the parallel bars at the 1996 Summer Olympics. After leaving competitive gymnastics, he became a real estate developer and founded Jair Lynch Development Partners in 1998.
Lynch was born October 2, 1971, in Amherst, Massachusetts. His father, Acklyn Lynch, was born on the island of Trinidad in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, and his mother, Martha Fernandez Lynch, was born in Bogotá, Colombia.
The Lynch family moved to Washington, D.C. when Jair was three years old. Jair Lynch grew up in the Shepherd Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C., where he attended Alexander Shepherd Elementary School. He evinced an early interest in architecture, and at the age of three was already replicating famous buildings in the city using Play-Doh and covering tables with cities he would build from Legos (his favorite toy). Although he enjoyed basketball, football, and soccer as a youth, his short height (he topped out at 5 feet 4 inches (1.63 m)) and lack of weight (just 135 pounds (61 kg) as an Olympic gymnast) mitigated against it. Yet he was extremely athletic.
Lynch graduated from Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., and received a full-ride gymnastics scholarship from Stanford University.
Lynch became involved with gymnastics at the age of eight. At the age of 12, he predicted that he was going to be an Olympic athlete someday. Lynch was plagued with injuries before he turned 18. These included a broken ankle, arm, finger, hand, and wrist (both of them). In 1985, he began training with coach Rick Tucker at the Gymnastics Plus club in Columbia, Maryland. His father drove him to every gymnastics meet. They would listen to jazz and hip-hop music, and discuss art, music, and sports.
At the 1987 USA Gymnastics' Junior Olympics, Lynch won the pommel horse championship. The following year, he compiled the highest score ever at the Junior Olympics. He was the all-around men's champion at the meet in 1990.
At Stanford University, Lynch was a member and captain of the 1992 and 1993 teams that won the NCAA Men's Gymnastics championship. He was coached by Sadao Hamada and David Juszczyk.
He placed seventh in the all-around competition at the 1991 World Sports Fair.
