Gymnasts Run Up Art Museum Steps As Philadelphia Kicks off Celebration For Gymnastics Trials

PHILADELPHIA--(Business Wire)--
More than 60 all-around state champion gymnasts from across
Pennsylvania recreated the famous "Rocky" run up the steps of the
Philadelphia Museum of Art Sunday afternoon as the City kicked off its
weeklong celebration of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Gymnastics.

   The event will take place June 19-22 at the Wachovia Center. Among
the activities planned is a renaming of Broad Street on Monday and a
free soft pretzel giveaway in LOVE Park in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Philadelphia will be rolling out the red carpet as one of just two
U.S. cities to host two U.S. Olympic Team Trials this year.
