"It is an amazing team.  We knew all along it was going to be difficult to select the team because of our depth.  It wasn't easy but I think we have selected a team that is going to go to London and vie for a gold medal.  I am proud of each and every one of our guys and I look forward to continuing the journey."

The women’s team will be named following the conclusion of the final day of women’s competition later today at the HP Pavilion at San Jose. All athletes named to the Olympic Team are subject to the approval of the U.S. Olympic Committee’s Board of Directors.

The members of the Men’s Selection Committee were: Kevin Mazeika, men’s national team coordinator; Mike Burns and Yoichi Tomita, coach representatives; Kevin Tan, athlete representative; Steve Butcher, at-large representative; and Dennis McIntyre, USA Gymnastics men’s program director (non-voting).
