For the first time we have expanded from three to five the number of nominees in both the male and female categories. All of these gymnasts gave memorable performances in the year 2006, and we are inviting the world to vote!
The gymnasts nominated are American Jana Bieger, Australia's Philippe Rizzo, Brazil's Diego Hypolito, China's Cheng Fei and Yang Wei, Germany's Fabian Hambüchen, Great Britain's Beth Tweddle, Italy's Vanessa Ferrari and Romanians Sandra Izbasa and Marian Dragulescu.
Voting ends Friday, April 27. The results will be announced May 11, 2007, at the 11th Annual International Gymnastics Hall of Fame Induction ceremony in Oklahoma City, Okla.
Sincerely,
