Olympic gymnastics hopeful Bridget Sloan

Coaches and gymnastics purists would be happy to see this well-trained, very artistic gymnast make the U.S. team to Beijing.

Though a fluff piece, it’s an excellent profile. I had no idea Bridget was so mature and well-spoken. I see her kind of confidence as a psychological plus.

In the final team selection Marta and the committee will chose those young women who they most believe can handle the pressure of 3-up, 3-count, in the lion’s den, Beijing.

Gymnast.com is projecting that “if Shayla makes it back for Trials next week, she may literally be going head to head with Bridget Sloan for the last spot on the Olympic team.” That two of these three will compete in Beijing: Peszek, Sloan and Worley.
