July 21, 2010 – Universal Sports presents exclusive live coverage of the 2010 CoverGirl Classic Gymnastics Competition on Saturday, July 24 at 8 p.m. ET at the UIC Pavilion on the University of Illinois-Chicago’s campus. David Michaels, Executive Producer of Universal Sports, will be directing the production, which will feature commentators Tim Daggett, 1984 Mens gymnastics Olympic Gold Medalist, and Tasha Schwikert, 2000 Olympic Bronze Medalist.

This marks the second consecutive year that Universal Sports will produce this national championships qualifying competition.
Highlighting this year’s CoverGirl Classic is the return of 2008 Olympic gymnastics silver-medalist Alicia Sacramone. In her first competitive appearance since announcing a year ago that she was coming out of retirement, Sacramone will look to perform well, just three week away from the 2010 Visa Championships. The competition will be fierce as the reigning world champion, Bridget Sloan, and world silver-medalist, Rebecca Bross, both of whom have already qualified for nationals, will be sure to bring their best in hopes of perfecting their routines for nationals.
The CoverGirl Classic, formerly known as the U.S. Classic, is the final qualifying event for the 2010 Visa Championships, the U.S. National Gymnastics Championships for men’s and women’s artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, and trampoline and tumbling. Universal Sports will broadcast the 2010 Visa Championships live on Thursday, August 12 and Friday, August 13 at 7 p.m. ET, while NBC Sports will show live coverage on Saturday, August 14 at 8 p.m. ET and taped coverage on Sunday, August 15 at 2:30 p.m. ET.
