"We are proud to support the potential of our young athletes and our amazing team of U.S. gymnasts," said Doug VanDeVelde, senior vice president of Morning Foods, Kellogg Company. "Over the course of the past week, we have all shared in the thrilling moments and passion of USA Gymnastics, and we are excited to bring that into the homes of families across the country."
"Gabby Douglas has helped Team USA make history this week,” said USA Gymnastics President, Steve Penny. “The team gold was the first since the 1996 Olympic Games and this is the first time that USA Gymnastics has captured both the team gold and the individual all-around gold medal. She also became the third consecutive American gymnast to win the all-around gold medal, making this an even more significant accomplishment."
Kellogg Company will also host the 2012 Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions, a 40-city national tour featuring Team USA’s top gymnasts. For ticket information, visit www.kelloggstour.com .
