Quote
"The 2009 Tyson American Cup has a longstanding legacy of showcasing the world's top gymnasts, and we are excited about celebrating the accomplishments of our former champions. Fans will see a great preview of some of the gymnasts to watch as the world prepares for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, and have the opportunity to recognize some of the great athletes whose accomplishments have made this event what it is today. We encourage fans to come out and support the athletes competing, the former champions, and Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games."—Steve Penny, president of USA GymnasticsUSOC: 2009 Tyson American Cup Ficks Off New Quadrennium in ChicagoAbout this page
