Hi weplay Olympic fans. This is Candice reporting live from the 2008 Gymnastics Olympic Trials in Philadelphia, PA.

The best gymnasts in the nation are here to show the US Gymnastics National Team Coordinators that they deserve a spot on the Olympic team.

Here's how it works:

The two highest scoring gymnasts at the end of the meet are guaranteed a place on the Olympic team.

The remaining Olympic hopefuls will find out if they've earned an invitation to the Olympic selection camps (held in July) shortly after the final night of competition on Sunday.

The selection camps give the gymnasts one last chance to impress the Olympic coaches in hopes of earning one of the four remaining Olympic team spots.

I'll be working this event all week, so keep checking in for new multimedia and blog updates. For now, I've uploaded a few behind the scene pics of the crew covering the event (where I'm working) and a few photos inside the Wachovia Center arena here in Philly.

The road to Beijing starts here!
