INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 11, 2012 – The 10 gymnasts who will represent the United States in men’s and women’s gymnastics at the 2012 Olympic Games in London will be determined at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials – Gymnastics, scheduled for June 28-July 1 at the HP Pavilion at San Jose (Calif.). 

Friday, Jan. 13, will be a lucky day for gymnastics fans – all-session tickets officially go on sale at 10 a.m. PT, and fans can win tickets through a Twitter contest. Legendary gymnastics coach Bela Karolyi and 1996 Olympic gold-medalist Shannon Miller, the USA’s most decorated gymnast, will be in the Bay Area to promote the Olympic Trials and tickets going on sale.

 

“It has been a while since both the entire men’s and women’s Olympic teams have been selected at the Trials," said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics. "This gives our fans the opportunity to celebrate our sport at the highest level and give the athletes a wonderful send-off to London.”

 

All athletes selected will be nominated to join Team USA for the London Games and are subject to the approval of the U.S. Olympic Committee’s board of directors. Final approval for all athletes will take place July 9.
