Giveaway: Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions at Honda Center
We here at When Girls Love Hockey love to celebrate female fans, not only of the great sport of hockey, but of sports in general. We also love when the spotlight shines on female athletes, and the spotlight never shines brighter than during the Olympic Games.
If your kids were anything like mine, the Summer Olympic Games in London was “must see tv” in our house every night for those two weeks in July and August. With daughters ages 9 and 6, this was the first Olympics that they were really engaged in the competition. And to no surprise to me, they connected most with the gold medal winning US Women’s Gymnastic Team.
For several nights, they watched Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, Jordyn Wieber, Kyla Ross and McKayla Maroney flip, vault, and fly all the way to gold. And when I explained that two of those five girls, Ross and Maroney, are from Orange County, my girls were even more wide-eyed.
Even after the Olympic flame had been extinguished, my daughters spent hours outside, pretending to be part of the “Fierce Five”, walking on pretend balance beams and doing somersaults on the grass. It was great to see them connect with the spirit of the Games and the celebration of US athletes.
If you and your family didn’t get your fill of watching gymnastics over the summer, then you won’t want to miss when the 2012 US Women’s Gymnastic Team brings their gold medal winning skill to Honda Center for the Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions on Sunday, September 16, 2012 at 3:00pm.
The “Fierce Five” will be joined by 2008 Olympic all-around champion Nastia Liukin and her fellow 2008 Olympic team silver medalists Chellsie Memmel and Alicia Sacramone. Men’s Artistic Gymnastics will also be well represented by athletes such as 2012 US Men’s Gymnastic Team members John Orozco and Jonathan Horton. Visit here for a complete list of those athletes scheduled to participate and to purchase tickets.

I will keep the contest open until 9:00pm PT Thursday, September 13, 2012. At that time, I will select one winner via random.org.

Loved the Fierce Five at the Olympics!
My daughter loved watching these remarkable athletes and gained a new respect for this sport
We just saw three of the “Fierce Five” on Ellen show. It was so exciting to cheer for Team U.S.A. for two straight weeks. My daughters and son were all cheering the loudest during gymnastics, yes my 16 year old son included. Given the opportunity to see Olympians showcase their talents in person would be an awesome gift for any of us.
My daughter absolutely loves gymnastics and has been begging me to get tickets for this event. Winning would be so awesome!
I would love to see this
We would love to go see this as a family! Both my girls LOVE gymnastics!
Wow! A chance to meet America’s finest athletes. Next best thing to attending the Olympics. Thanks for the chance to win these tickets. My daughter was glued to the television for each gymnastic event.
We would love to see the “Fierce Five” and other gymnasts!
Our daughter, age 10, loved loved the Fierce Five! During the Olympics she tracked each girls performance writing their scores down. She downloaded two books and read all about them. We even saw this event listed and she wanted to go so badly, but some changes in our work prevented us from being able to do so.
She would love this and well as her father & I! Thanks for the chance!!!
Our family was VERY proud of these girls and how they represented the USA. Go USA!
My daughters would love to see the Fab 5! These girls are very inspiring to young girls.
It was so much fun watching the US team win gold! We would love to go see them in person.
Thanks for bringing home the GOLD!! My family and I are very proud of ALL of you.
Oh wow this would be so amazing for my son Joey (9yrs old) he would love to go. We had him in gymnastic over at Los Cabos in costa mesa but we had to take him out it was just to much money for us. He always talks about doing gymnastic and praying one day we’ll be able to go back and how wonderful his coach and staff was! “We love you guys over there”
