Gold medal winning fab five coming to Seattle

Aug 3, 2012, 7:13 AM | Updated: 8:32 am

The gold-medal-winning U.S. women’s gymnastics team will be bringing their skills to Seattle.

The U.S. women’s team, including fab five members Jordyn Wieber, McKayla Maroney, Kyla Ross, Aly Raisman, and gold medal all around winner Gabby Douglas, will appear at Key Arena as part of the 2012 Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions in September.

This year’s team secured gold for the first time for the U.S. women in 16 years. Some say this team is arguably the greatest of all time.

The live show at Key Arena will also include past Olympic winners Nastia Liukin, Jonathan Horton and some of the other members of team USA’s Olympic squad for the 2012 games including Jake Dalton, and John Orozco.

The show is coming to Key Arena on September 23. Tickets are on sale now.
