Jordyn Wieber Leads Women's Day 1 of 2011 Visa Championships

In a night full of shocking errors, Jordyn Wieber claims the top spot for the senior women day 1 at the 2011 Visa Championships. Last night saw the return of Shawn Johnson and Rickey.org's favorite wifey Alicia Sacramone.

2008 Olympic silver-medalist Alicia Sacramone showed the form that won her the gold medal on vault at last year's World Championships, performing a front handspring one-and-a-half twisting vault with ease. Her two-vault average, a 15.500, was the highest on the event. Sacramone also finished second on the balance beam with a 15.200.

Shawn Johnson, 2008 Olympic balance beam champion, competing in her second competition since Beijing, started strong on the vault with a double twisting Yurchenko (14.650). Johnson went on to record a 14.350 on the uneven bars and a 14.700 on the balance beam.

In the individual event competition, Sacramone posted the highest score on the vault, while Anna Li of Naperville, Ill./Legacy Elite Gymnastics, topped the bars standings, soaring through the air on a toe-on Khorkina II transition and nearly sticking her double layout dismount for a 15.050. Memmel posted the highest score on the beam, and Wieber leads on the floor exercise.

The combined scores from tonight's competition and the final day of competition on Saturday will determine the U.S. senior women's champion.
