vote for 2006 Gymnast of the Year

This contest has not been particularly well publicized or organized in the past. But I like the concept.

For the fifth consecutive year, the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame is organizing the only worldwide “Gymnast of the Year” award.

… All of these gymnasts gave memorable performances in the year 2006, and we are inviting the world to vote!

The gymnasts nominated are American Jana Bieger, Australia’s Philippe Rizzo, Brazil’s Diego Hypolito, China’s Cheng Fei and Yang Wei, Germany’s Fabian Hambüchen, Great Britain’s Beth Tweddle, Italy’s Vanessa Ferrari and Romanians Sandra Izbasa and Marian Dragulescu.

Voting ends Friday, April 27. The results will be announced May 11, 2007, at the 11th Annual International Gymnastics Hall of Fame Induction ceremony in Oklahoma City, Okla.
