Olympic Gymnasts Tumble Into Barclays Center

The Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions will feature nine Olympic gymnasts.

Haven’t had your fill of Olympic gymnastics? Eight 2012 Team U.S.A. gymnasts – plus 2008 legend Nastia Liukin – will perform at Barclays Center on November 18 with the Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions.

The show will feature this year’s standouts Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman, who each won two gold medals at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Raisman is also the first U.S. woman to win individual Olympic gold on the floor exercise).

Also slated to perform are the rest of the "fab five" U.S. Women’s Team gold medalists: Jordyn Wieber, Kyla Ross and McKayla Maroney, as well as men’s Olympic gymnasts John Orozco, Jonathan Horton and Jake Dalton.

"This is what makes the Olympic spirit so great; providing a platform for athletes and fans of all countries and ethnic backgrounds to cheer excellence," said Liukin, in a statement. "I’m looking forward to seeing all my fans in Brooklyn this fall.”

The show begins at 3 p.m. on November 18. Tickets are on sale now via www.barclayscenter.com.

Chris Rock said it best, African Americans are shown more 'love' for doing a 'bid' and getting outRead More of prison than to graduate school with a degree. When this 'hood mentality' starts to change, then you will see more than a trickle of AA passing advanced math courses.
