Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics Gymnastics Schedule Released

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) released the artistic gymnastics schedule for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.

The U.S. will be without its best gymnast Paul Hamm, as well as his brother Morgan, adding doubt to their hope of winning a gold medal. The U.S. team won the bronze in the team final during the 2004 Olympics as Japan won the gold. Hamm won the gold in the all-around final.

In similar news, Carly Patterson, who won the gold in the women's all-around final, will not compete with the U.S. team in the 2008 Olympics. The team will rely on Shawn Johnson, who won three gold medals in the 2007 World Championships.

China won the men's gold medal in the 2007 World Championships, led by Yang Wei, who many consider to be the world's best gymnast. Japan won silver.

Pang Panpan and Feng Chei (China), Beth Twiddle (UK), and Vanessa Ferrari (Italy) are amongst the world's best gymnasts who will compete for the gold medal in the women's competition. Yang Wei and Marian Dragulescu (Romania) will lead the men's category.
