Our next can’t miss even is pretty much a given. It’s hard for anything to move the needle the way gymnastics does, and more specifically, women’s gymnastics. Add in the heartbreak for Jordyn Wieber, and we have some extra drama for the women’s team final tomorrow. Check after the jump for the details.

Favorites for gold: USA and Russia
The Russians and Team USA have gone back and forth over recent years, with Team Russia winning the world championship in 2010, then finishing second to the U.S. last year. The USA will need one of the best gymnasts in the world, Jordyn Wieber to bounce back in order to win their first team gold medal since the “Magnificent Seven” of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
I’d put my money on Team USA powered by their own “big 3″ of Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, and Jordyn Wieber
