By , About.com GuideSeptember 10, 2012

Follow me on:

The official word from USA Gymnastics on the injuries to Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney last night:

"At the Sept. 9 performance of the Kellogg'sŪ Tour of Gymnastics Champions in Ontario, Calif., 2012 Olympic gold-medalists McKayla Maroney and Aly Raisman were injured while performing on the uneven bars.

Raisman, who was examined at the arena by the physician for the performance, has bruised knees. She will follow an icing and additional treatment regimen with continued assessment by the medical staff, but does not require any further testing at this time.

Maroney is undergoing medical evaluations and tests today to determine the extent of her injury to her left knee. A further update will be provided once Maroney's injury is diagnosed and confirmed."
