Marta will send no gymnasts to the Olympic Test Event, London 2012.
The USA will send 2 Men — names yet to be announced.
Everyone I talk to believes it’s a mistake for American National Team members not to compete more internationally. Foregoing this opportunity is a mistake.
Hopefully Marta’s successor, should she actually step down after London, will finally get over the American aversion to competing internationally.
UPDATE: NCAA FAN points out that the USA did sent gymnasts to both the 2004 and 2008 pre-Olympic meets. What’s different in 2012?
