Pro Sports MVP is proud to announce the Olympic Heroes Tour from January 14th-25th, 2009.  The goodwill military tour will feature gold medalists from the Olympic Games.  The group slated to visit the troops includes:

Shannon Miller- 7-time Olympic medalist.  She earned two Gold Medals in 1996, one in balance beam and one team medal.  In an epic competition Shannon led the American team, affectionately nicknamed the “Magnificent 7” to history when US Women’s Gymnastics finally defeated the Russians for the first time ever; she was the team’s highest scorer.  Shannon ranks as the most decorated gymnast, male or female, in US history and was also the most successful athlete, by medal count, at the 1992 Barcelona Games, winning 5 altogether (2 Silver & 3 Bronze).

“These outstanding Olympic athletes will have a tremendous impact on the military personnel stationed in Iraq.  The group is very excited to meet the troops in Iraq, and it will be everyone’s first visit to the country.  All of the participants have expressed their passion for our troops overseas and are looking forward to a successful tour and once-in-a-lifetime experience” says David Chavez, President of Pro Sports MVP.
