Jordyn Wieber and Danell Leyva win American Cup:

Jordyn WIEBER kicked off her Olympic year with a victory and may have found a new threat to her gold medal hopes. Wieber, the reigning world champion, captured her third American Cup at New York's Madison Square Garden, finishing with a score of 61.032 to beat teammate Alexandra Raisman by two-tenths of a point in the first major prep for the London Games.
In the men's event, American Danell LYVA roared back from a slow start to win, surging from fourth to first in the final rotation with a thrilling high bar performance.
