Gabrielle Douglas likely to unveil Amanar at Nationals

CHICAGO -- Is it true, I asked Gabrielle Douglas, that you can do an Amanar vault?

Douglas, still on a high from her nailed bars set at the CoverGirl Classic, broke into a huge grin. "Yes it is!" she said, and chuckled.
 
And will you be doing it at Nationals, by chance?
 
"Oh yeah we will!"
 
Douglas said she trains the Amanar on a hard surface "every day or every other day" though she has had to lay off a bit since being diagnosed as having a strain in her hamstring.
 
So just keep off it for a bit of time, I began, and --
 
Douglas finished the sentence for me. "...and I'll be good!"
