NBC Miami: Gymnast Danell Leyva returned home to Miami an Olympic bronze medalist Wednesday, as supporters welcomed him at Miami International Airport.
Leyva came down an escalator at 10:27 p.m. to big cheers and applause, hugging family and friends as television cameras crowded around.
“It’s truly overwhelming,” said Leyva, who held his bronze medal, which he won in the individual all-around, and let people touch it.
A couple dozen supporters, including Levya’s aunt and his Universal Gymnastics family, gathered for his homecoming in the terminal.
