2008 Olympians Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson, and 2009 NCAA all-around champ and 2004 Olympian Courtney Kupets have all been nominated for ESPN's ESPY Awards.

Liukin was nominated for Best Female Athlete, Johnson for Best Breakthrough Athlete, and both for Best US Female Olympian. Kupets was nominated for Best Female College Athlete.

Voting begins today and closes July 11. The awards show will be on July 15, airing on July 19 on ESPN, with Samuel L. Jackson hosting.

Having three gymnasts on there is very cool.

Vote. (Note: You have to register to vote.)
