The USA elite National Championships will return to Hartford in 2013, and the event appears to be without a sponsor, for now. 




Previously known as the Visa Championships, the event determines U.S. champions and the U.S. national team for the junior and senior elite levels. The field will be determined closer to the competition but will likely be headlined by a handful of the 2012 USA Olympians.

The Championships were held in Hartford back in 2010 when Jonathan Horton won his second consecutive title and Rebecca Bross decisively won the women's title. We also saw the return of 2008 Olympian Alicia Sacramone who captured her 5th national vault title.

Which 2012 Olympians can we expect to see at Hartford 2013? Currently, we know that the entire USA men's Olympic Team of Danell Leyva, John Orozco, Sam Mikulak, Jake Dalton, and Jonathan Horton plan to continue for another quadrennium.

 On the women's side, Kyla Ross told us she is fully committed to representing the USA at the 2013 World Championships, while McKayla Maroney and Aly Raisman have both stated they plan to continue in the sport.
