NEW WAVERLY, Texas -- Joining defending world all-around champion Shawn Johnson, 16, and nine-time world medalist Nastia Liukin, 18, on the U.S. Olympic women's gymnastics team will be 20-year-old Alicia Sacramone, 16-year-old Samantha Peszek, 20-year-old Chellsie Memmel and 16-year-old Bridget Sloan. The alternates are Jana Bieger, Ivan Hong and Corrie Lothrop.

Mattie Larson, 16, of L.A., competed tonight with a probable stress fracture in one leg, which likely kept her from winning an alternate spot.
