Some of the best gymnasts in history are heading to the South Bay this week. The men and women competing in the 2023 U.S. Gymnastics Championships have collectively won 12 Olympic medals, 50 World Championship medals and 46 national title and they're taking over the SAP Center in San Jose in a matter of days.
The events bring a jam packed few days across Downtown San Jose.
"We want to keep the energy rolling," San Jose Sports Authority Executive Director John Poch told ABC7 News. "We had a San Jose Jazz Festival last week, which was just spectacular. Downtown was so exciting, so vibrant. And then this will just roll into it. Remember, we have over 2,000 people attending the National Congress. And they're attending that Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday."Right after the competition, USA Gymnastics is expected to announce its national teams.
Back to the big names like Simone Biles and Lee, the competition will mark the first time two Olympic all-around gold medalists will compete at the same U.S. Championship. "How many basketball fans say they wished they saw Michael Jordan? Or how many baseball fans say, 'Wow, I wish I saw Willie Mays,' or soccer fans who say, 'I wish I saw Mia Hamm play.' Well, you have the chance," Poch shared.
Poch said Sunday's event, the women's final, is close to a sellout. There is also a list of local, Bay Area qualifiers expected to draw out crowds - athletes representing Stanford University, San Mateo Gymnastics, Airborne Gymnastics in Santa Clara, and World Champions Centre in Pleasanton.
