Olympics: Which country will win the Women's Artistic Gymnastics, Team All Around Gold?

Background: The U.S. women's gymnastics team is shaping up to be the favorites to not only win the team gold medal in Beijing, but also take plenty of individual honors at the Olympics.

Four years ago, Carly Patterson became the darling of the gymnastics world by winning the all-around gold medal. Now the torch could be passed to 16-year- old Shawn Johnson, the 2007 world all-around champion, or 18-year-old Nastia Liukin, as the duo finished 1-2 at the U.S. Olympic trials in June. Born in Moscow, Russia, Liukin is the second Olympian in her family. Liukin's father and coach, Valeri, won four gymnastics medals at the 1988 Olympics, including two gold, and her mother was a 1987 rhythmic gymnastics world champion. Chellsie Memmel, Samantha Peszek, Alicia Sacramone and Bridget Sloan make up the remainder of the women's team. Sacramone won her fourth straight U.S. vaulting title at nationals earlier this year.
