This sounds really cool...

NEW YORK – A new event at the 104th Millrose Games will bring three generations of U.S. decathletes – all medal threats for the 2012 Olympic Games in London – to Madison Square Garden for a unique competition.

Reigning Olympic decathlon and World Indoor heptathlon gold medalist Bryan Clay, 2009 World decathlon champion Trey Hardee and indoor heptathlon world record holder Ashton Eaton will compete in the 60m dash, high jump and shot put in a scored competition, the Millrose Multi Challenge. “Clay and Trey” had already established themselves as gold-medal threats for London when in 2010, Eaton broke the world indoor record while a senior at Oregon. The three-time NCAA decathlon champion won the 2010 Bowerman Award as the nation’s top male track and field athlete. Clay, Trey and Eaton will face competition from two-time NCAA champion Jake Arnold and the American high school record holder in the decathlon, Curtis Beach of Duke University.

The 104th Millrose Games will be contested Friday, January 28, 2011 at Madison Square Garden. The first event of USA Track & Field’s Visa Championship Series, the Millrose Games will be televised live from 8-10 p.m. Eastern Time on ESPN2.

yeah, that does look to be an interesting competition.

Any one know who might be entered in the vault? Looks like there is only going to be a womens vault this year.
At least, that is what the preliminary schedule shows.

Yes, only a women's vault this year. I do not know who is going. Not Isinbayeva!

Not suprising... I'm sure this isn't the reason, but appearance fees meets may have to pay out are enormous.
