by HUNTSVILLE, Texas, April 24, 2017 – The April women’s national team camp began this week at the USA Gymnastics National Team Training Center at the Karolyi Ranch, an official U.S. Olympic Training Site. National team coordinator Valeri Liukin leads the camp after successful international outings at the London World Cup and the Jesolo Trophy earlier this month.
The camp will begin with physical abilities testing, followed by verifications on all four apparatus. As members of the U.S. national team prepare for this summer’s competitions, including the P&G Gymnastics Championships, scheduled for August 17-20 in Anaheim, Calif., the focus of the camp will be to finalize routine construction, improve technical execution of skills and exactness of dance elements.
