    WAG 2016 Olympic Trials

    Many sports have already announced where their 2016 US Olympic trials will be held. It looks like San Jose in 2012 was announced in June 2010. Does anyone know which cities are in the running and when it will be announced? Or is gymnastics more secretive than other sports for some reason...

    Parents Olympic gymnast costume

    My DD (age 6) wants to be an Olympic gymnast for Halloween. She wants a leotards and warm up suit similar to what the girls wore in London. Any thoughts? I could just tell her she can wear an Adidas track suit and a leotard she already has and that will probably be okay with her but I thought I...

    Petition to get Acrobatic Gymnastics into the Olympic games

    While this petition is about 2016 Summer Games... SIGN IT. BUT....... IMHO I would push for Winter Olympics. The requirements to become a winter Olympic sport is much lower (25 countries) in full participation; while summer games is 72+? countries. Other stipulations might force the sport to...

    Olympic Leos

    GK is selling the Olympic leotards like they did in 2008! I'm so excited! I can't decide between team finals, all around, or the event finals leo (the one that looks like the American flag).
