Gymmin' Miel!

71 athletes from 20 states will be competing at the 2014 Secret U.S. Classic which will be held at the Hoffman Estates in Illinois on August 2nd. This is the final opportunity in which gymnasts have to qualify for the 2014 P&G Championships. Competition begins with the Junior Elite session which begins at 1.00pm with the Senior session getting underway at 6.30pm. Nine Juniors who will be age-eligible for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games will be competing in the Senior session but will still be vying for the Junior titles as a result of the large number of Juniors who have entered. Most gymnasts have already qualified for the P&G National Championships but for those who haven't the Qualifying Marks are: at least 54.000 in the All Around or a 3-event total of 41.250 or 2-event total of 28.000 for Seniors with Juniors having to score 52.000 in the All Around at the Secret Classic.

And a huge congratulations go to the following gymnasts, their coaches and families and all the people who support them:

The 2012 Team USA Media Summit is a three day opportunity for print, broadcast, internet and photo journalists to interview, photograph and receive access to some of USA's top Olympic, and Paralympic hopefuls. Held each Olympic year since 1988, this year's event, which started on Friday and concludes today, is taking place at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas. Thirteen gymnasts participated in this year's summit: Trampoline stars Dakota Earnest and Logan Dooley, Rhythmic sensation Julie Zetlin, MAG gymnasts Jonathan Horton, and John Orozco and Women's Artistic Gymnasts Rebecca Bross, Gabrielle Douglas, Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin, McKayla Maroney, Alexandra Raisman, Sabrina Vega and Jordyn Wieber.

Images taken by Getty Images of the gymnasts have been rolled out. Here is my favorite photo of each Artistic gymnast who was in attendance.
