There was a rumor going around that... I want to say Aly Raisman? was competing but I passed it off as an April Fools' joke, I suppose it turned out not to be the case.
Have we ruled out that they're getting invites to Vegas? Perhaps that's why only 60 guaranteed spots this year, since they need room for famous people to compete alongside the qualifiers like in SASUKE (remember, this is a completely separate event now)

Even if she does compete I won't be pissed because, well, she's a professional athlete, not an amateur like we are.

Yeah, that was part of the reason I thought it was an April Fools' joke since she's not at the age limit.

Carol Rodriguez (Olympian) and Jordan Babineaux (NFL) both competed at the tryouts in Venice.

Ryoga posted on the Comrades group that he's contacted the Denver PD, and they are adamant that there will be no camping at the park.

Grats guys best of luck in Denver!
Btw no reason to hide if you got a call or not, casting is completely fine with you disclosing that info.

I think they're doing that because I may or may not have started an overkill of people saying "may or may not have" about the experience I may or may not have had in what may or may not have been baltimore

Apparently only 400 people out of 10,000 applicants got call backs (this is the total for all regions combined).

Perhaps that's why only 60 guaranteed spots this year, since they need room for famous people to compete alongside the qualifiers like in SASUKE (remember, this is a completely separate event now) I never expected to hear there would be like 40 spots for celebrities. I would give like just 10. We need a thread which talks about ANW5 in general. This doesn't really talk about the Denver Regional. Aly is also on Dancing With the Stars this year, so we would probably see another female gymnast who competed on DWTS, like Shawn Johnson! Also, all female contestants, even gymnasts, don't do so well on ANW, so it would be really nice to see a male U.S. gymnast from the 2012 olympics.

Two of the 4 regions have already ran... Venice was early last month, Baltimore was 2 weeks ago. If you mean Olympians I don't know if they've ran, sorry if my post was vague (but that's good really lol )
