How do the men that end up on the olympic gymnastics team get discovered?

Chloe: How do the men that end up on the olympic gymnastics team get discovered?
There are college gymnastics teams for the girls, but you never hear about the guys. They just end up at the olympics. Do they have mens college gymnastics teams that no one hears about or do they just have a seperate training facility?

There are competitions for men as well, and the men qualify just like the women, through the national championships.
They are not discovered, everyone knows who is good for several years before they get to the Olympics.
There are men’s college teams, and there are also Olympic training sites.
