Artistic gymnasts are arrived in Mexico. Security is tight.
The full women’s team representing the USA in Guadalajara is:
Bridgette Caquatto, Jessie DeZiel, Brandie Jay, Shawn Johnson, Bridget Sloan, and Grace McLauglin who replaced the injured Chellsie Memmel. Team alternates are Hallie Mossett and McKenzie Wofford.
This is a totally different team than those who dominated the World Championships last week in Tokyo.
The all around favorite will likely be 2009 World All Around Champion Bridget Sloan who is at last recovered from injury, but expect Johnson to bring home a few medals from Guadalajara and continue her journey towards the 2012 London Olympics.
That’s from a preview post on Gymnastike – Shawn Johnson at the Pan American Games
