World Gymnastics Championships London

Good luck and have FUN to everyone going !!

2009 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, a Facebook group, is posting regular updates and photos.

Training-Venue

American coach Hal Halverson is over in London helping organizers. He emailed:

… very very large set up .. seven full mens and womens gym set ups … it is being conducted in the O2 Stadium which was formerly referred to as the Millenium Dome … so some heavy work days ahead …

John Roethlisberger will be there as a commentator for NBC Universal. Great call. He’s one of the best informed and most entertaining colour guys. … What !? … There is no Wikipedia page for John? That’s crazy. Someone correct that oversight. His sister has one.

John will be on Inside Gymnastics Radio tonight LIVE. (Hopefully that episode will be available to stream in a few days … but don’t count on it. Inside Gymnastics has promised and not delivered many times on that terrific, innovative addition to their website.)

Done and done, Dana. … Facebook can be really frustrating that way.

A new star is born in Romanian Gymnastics and this is the young Ana Porgras. I believe that she will be the surprise of this competition. Go Ana!
