We have our US Women’s Gymnastics team for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. 

We already knew Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin were going to Bejing, and now we know Chellsie Memmel, Alicia Sacramone, Samantha Peszek and Bridget Sloan round out the team. (Read AP story HERE.) I feel really good about the team and the prospects for gold. 

Here is more news and happenings on the gymnastics front as we prepare for the Olympics starting 08-08-08:

• Shawn Johnson’s coach Liang Chow was named Head Coach for the US Women’s gymnastics team!  (Read story from the Des Moines Register HERE.)
• Shayla Worley, one of my favorite gymnasts today, broke her leg at training camp. (AP story HERE.)
• Paul Hamm is in good shape, his hand is healed, and he has a ticket to China.  (AP story HERE.)
• Here are some great photos from the Gymnastics camp, courtesy of Live.Breath.Love Gymnastics. (Thanks to the Gymblog for the pointer.)
• Is this really the Olympic leotard?  (Again, thanks to Live.Breath.Love Gymnastics.)
