AT&T American Cup 2014

The American Cup was this past weekend and it was amazing! The American Cup is one of the first international competitions of the season for the men and women. There were many breathtaking  performances by gymnasts all around the world, especially competitors from the US! This year's AT&T American Cup was held in North Carolina.

Women
The representatives for the women were Brenna Dowell and Elizabeth Price. Both girls are elite American gymnasts who qualified to participate in this elite competition. They both rocked all four events and took the 1st and 2nd place All-Around spots, with Elizabeth winning the whole competition and Brenna coming in a close second!

Men
As for the men, they also did really well! The two US representatives were Sam Mikulak and John Orozco, both elite American gymnasts. John Orozco did well enough but had a few mistakes causing it not to be his best day, and Sam Mikulak was neck-in-neck with a Chinese gymnast for most of the competition, but ended up pulling out a win for the US!
