4 Brits headed to American Cup

 With several last minute withdrawals the line-up for the American Cup (taking place March 5) has been shuffled around a bit, with the upside (at least from my point of view) of now including 2 british men and 2 british ladies.

The 16 gymnast field is now made up of:

Men

• USA: Jonathan Horton, Houston
• France: Cyril Tommasone
• Germany: Philipp Boy
• Great Britain: Samuel Hunter
• Great Britain: Daniel Purvis
• Japan: Koji Uematsu
• Russia: Sergey Khorokhordin
• Ukraine: Mykola Kuksenkov

Women

• USA: Alexandra Raisman
• Australia: Lauren Mitchell
• China: Huang Quishuang
• Great Britain: Nicole Hibbert
• Great Britain: Hannah Whelan
• Russia: Aliya Mustafina
• Switzerland: Ariella Kaeslin
• Venezuela: Jessica Lopez

Also keeping british gymnasts busy, the 2011 English Championships take place this weekend in Stoke-on-Trent. Beth Tweddle is due to compete. Going for Gold will have results up as soon as possible.
