The Tour of Gymnastics Superstars explained

The Tour of Gymnastics Superstars was a 2008 nationwide concert tour featuring 17 American gymnasts[1] plus recording artists Jordan Pruitt, Carly Patterson, and KSM.[2] The tour visited 34 cities in more than 20 U.S. states.[3]

The first show, in Reno, Nevada, was taped for a national broadcast on MyNetworkTV[2] and included a musical performance by Hannah Montana actor Mitchel Musso.[4]

Video from the second show, in San Diego, California, was included in Frosted Pink with a Twist, a television special about women's cancers (gymnast Shawn Johnson has a grandmother who is a cancer survivor[5] [6]). The special, which was broadcast on ABC on October 12, 2008, also featured singers Jesse McCartney, Kenny Loggins, and Grammy Award singers Cyndi Lauper and Carole King.[7] [8]
