The Tour of Superstars

What’s up Wakefield!?  Everyone knows we just had the Olympics and gymnastics was one of the sports. In gymnastics, the gymnast compete on four events; vault, bars, beam, and floor. Six girls and two alternates travel the long journey to the Olympics. This year’s Olympic team included Bridget Sloan, Samantha Pezek, Chellsie Memmel, beam gold medalist and all-around silver medalist Shawn Johnson and all-around gold medalist Nastia Liukin. Nastia Liukin is included as one of the three American all-around gold medalist. he goes in the history books with Mary Lou Retton and Carly Patterson.

After every Olympics the gymnasts get together and travel around the U.S. performing. This year Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson are performing around the U.S. This year the show is called “The Tour of Superstars”. The Tour of Superstars is coming to the RBC Center Sunday October 19, 2008. In the Tour of Superstars the gymnasts do their routines on all the events. After they do some of their routines they team up and do partner routines. At the Tour of Superstars, men perform there too. The men gymnasts go and do their routines and also partner up. At the end of the show they go around signing autographs.

I went to the last Tour of Champions and it was alot of fun. The stars did their routines and then partnered up. At the end they signed autographs and left to go to the next show. It was so much fun and I wish I could go to the next show.
