OK, this has nothing to do with the 2010 Olympics, but the country's best gymnasts are coming to Tacoma on Saturday night.
I talked to Jonathan Horton, star of the men's bronze-medal team in Beijing. We have a story in today's GO section.
Here's some video of Horton action in his favorite event: The high bar.
Here's a solid performance:
And here's Horton biting it:
This just in from the U.S. Bobsled Team:
The U.S. Bobsled Push Championships concluded today at the Ice House, an indoor push-start facility, in Calgary, Alberta. Justin Olsen (San Antonio, Texas) and Steve Langton (Melrose, Mass.) claimed the titles for the men’s brakeman and side-push competitions, respectively, while Elana Meyers (Douglasville, Ga.) won the women’s brakeman title. Erin Pac (Farmington, Conn.) claimed gold in the women’s driver competition, and Todd Hays (Del Rio, Texas) claimed the men’s driver crown.
Shauna Rohbock (Orem, Utah), who claimed the 2006 Olympic silver medal with teammate Fleming, finished second with a push time of 5.78 seconds, while skeleton athlete turned bobsled driver, Bree Schaaf (Bremerton, Wash.), placed third with a time of 5.83 seconds.
