Banquet Lunch at the Nastia Cup

We had our Nastia Liukin Luncheon today and the girls each got to take pictures with Nastia. There were also the flags of the countries in the American Cup so they wanted to take a picture with the Japan Flag.

Warm-ups get underway in about 2 hours.

Nastia Cup Training goes well for Kylie and Maggie

Training went well yesterday for the Nastia Luikin cup. The girls got their new nastia cup apparel which included a training leo, competition leo, warm-up suit, pink adidas back pack, visor, and covergirl make-up. The equipment is nice and bouncy on the podium so hopefully floor will be good.

Quote from Kylie: I am hoping to learn from this experience and go out and have fun.

Quote from Maggie: I feel like a superstar. I feel honored to be here.

Quote from Jason: This is a great experience for the girls and me. I have been a part of this level of competition as a judge on the men's side but as a coach it is a lot different. I am looking forward to coaching my first live televised event.

Tune in to Universal Sports or universalsports.com at 6:00pm central time (7:00pm easterntime)

I will post pictures from the meet and video footage(if able to tape) tonight.

GOOD LUCK TO MAGGIE AND KYLIE!! GO PALMERS
