The World Championships are approaching rapidly . . . 6 days to go!! The U.S. women's team is in Tokyo, Japan, where the championships are being held; and aside from the team, 2008 Olympic All-Around Champion Nastia Liukin will be attending the highly anticipated event. In fact, Nastia was on the U.S. Worlds team selection commitee.
I've been looking forward to this competition for a long time, and it's really exciting that it's finally getting close.
As for the Pan-American Games, which will be held after the World Championships, there has been a setback for the U.S. team. Chellsie Memmel, 2008 Olympic veteran, was forced to withdraw from the competition due to her shoulder injury (which occured at the 2011 Visa Championships). Chellsie had surgery on September 23rd, and we all hope she will have a safe recovery.
