Six-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift will perform at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards next month. But she won't be the only gold winner in the room. The U.S. Women's Gymnastics team - known as the Fierce Five - will be presenters at the Sept. 6 show. Gabby Douglas, McKayla Maroney, Alexandra Raisman, Kyla Ross and Jordyn Wieber won the women's team gold medal at the Olympics this month and have been on a whirlwind tour ever since that included the couches of Jay Leno and David Letterman.

American Jordyn Wieber, the reigning world and national gymnastics all-around champion, did not advance to the all-around finals in today’s qualifying. Aly Raisman shocked everyone by taking the top spot overall. Gabby Douglas was second, Wieber third. Only two gymnasts from one country can advance.
