US Olympic Gymnastics Squad Ready to Take-off!

The US Olympic Gymnastics Selection Committee announced the six-woman team that will represent the United States in next month's Summer Games in Beijing. 

There was little surprise (thank goodness!) when Marta Karolyi added Alicia Sacramone, Chellsie Memmel, Samantha Peszek, and Bridget Sloan to the American roster. 

Last month's US Olympic Trials winner, Shawn Johnson, and runner-up, Nastia Luikin, received automatic berths to the American team following their 1-2 finish. 

The seasoned American squad are the medal favorites to bring home the Team Gold. 

Thank you, Marta...
