Anyone wondering what they are doing - they are getting ready for the Visa Championships in August in San Jose and are promoting it too, visiting gymnastics clubs. Jana Bieger is getting over her ankle/foot injury and Chellsie Memmel is getting over her shoulder injury.

and also endorsing GK for Jana.

here's an article on Jana and Chellsie: "Gymnasts training for a bigger prize" - http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2007/05/26/SPGACQ204Q1.DTL [quote]"The Worlds last year was a total example of being tough,'' Memmel said. "I competed with a partially torn tendon ... and I finished the competition. Yes, you have to be tough.'' [/quote] Why would you compete on a partially torn tendon?! Everyone keeps saying there is a lot of depth in the USA team, so why not not risk getting injuried further and compromising the healing and substitute?! Anyways, they did actually substitute her at Worlds, she withdrew from the competition: [quote]Due to an injured right shoulder, 2005 all-around world champion Chellsie Memmel has withdrawn from the all-around finals at the 2006 World Championships scheduled for later today. The USA's Ashley Priess of will now compete in the all-around finals along with Jana Bieger.

Actually, Chellsie is also endorsing GK too lol. She's on the cover of the purple GK catalog. Her official website is http://www.chellsiememmel.net . All the links on her website don't work though.

They look different in the GK catalogs with all the makeup and hair styling!
