Johnson, Liukin advance to Beijing

Johnson and Liukin earned guaranteed spots on the U.S. women’s gymnastics team Sunday night after finishing 1-2 at the Olympic trials — the same places they had at the national championships two weeks ago. The remaining four members of the team and three alternates will be named after a July 20 selection camp at the Karolyi ranch in Houston.

Comeback kid Chellsie Memmel and Samantha Peszek continue to make their case for two of the remaining spots, finishing third and fourth at trials just as they did at nationals.
