HUNTSVILLE, Texas, Oct. 28, 2016 – The October women’s national team camp begins today at the USA Gymnastics National Team Training Center at the Karolyi Ranch, an official U.S. Olympic Training Site. The camp comes after Team USA’s historic nine-medal haul at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, including the team gold medal. Olympic champion Valeri Liukin, who was named USA Gymnastics’ women’s national team coordinator in September, will lead the camp.
At the camp, athletes will be verifying one-third routines on the uneven bars and balance beam, as they work to finalize choreography and routine composition for the first half of the 2017 competition season. The U.S. women are expected to participate in the International Gymnastics Federation’s all-around World Cup series, including the AT&T American Cup, scheduled for March 4 in Newark, N.J., as well as the Jesolo (Italy) Trophy in late March.
