US field superb young team for Peking

2 Hoosiers 16 year old Samantha Peszek who has been at DeVeau’s School of Gymnastics in Fishers Indianapolis for the last 13 years, and Bridget Sloan, 16, Pittsboro who trains at Sharp’s Gymnastics on the Northwestside are off to Peking

That's the good news.

The community is chipping in as we speak to help the parents of Samantha go to Peking to see her in action after her dad lost his job today.

US men's national team coordinator Ron Brant said he expected no problems with Morgan Hamm's participation on the U.S. team. USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic Committee reaffirmed his membership on the team last week, in the wake of a public warning by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency after he tested positive for a prohibited substance at nationals.

The International Gymnastics Federation has the right to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
