U.S. Female Gymnasts To Get 2000 Olympic Medal

06.24.10 |

Ten years after competing in the Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, the 2000 U.S. women's gymnastics Olympic team will be awarded a bronze medal. The award was recently stripped from China after a member of that team falsified her age. The International Olympic Committee decided to take the medal away from China this past April. The bronze medals will be given out to the American team in a special ceremony on August 11th in Hartford, Connecticut, in conjunction with the U.S. gymnastics championships.
