2012 Olympic Gymnastics Team (Women): The Fierce Five
By Amy Van Deusen, About.com Guide
Bridget Sloan was the 2009 world all-around champ, but was injured for most of 2010 and 2011. Her bad luck with injuries continued, and Sloan had to withdraw from the 2012 Olympic Trials with a sprained elbow. Sloan is planning to attend the University of Florida in the fall of 2012, and will compete as an NCAA gymnast.
