Don’t plan on attending the USA Championships in August of 2008. The competitions have been moved much earlier in the year.
And the women’s meet will be hosted separately from the other disciplines.
USA Gymnastics has awarded the 2008 Visa Championships to two cities that have strong gymnastics communities and a history of proven success in hosting premier events: Houston will host the men’s artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics and trampoline and tumbling competition for the Visa Championships at Reliant Park, May 22-24; and Boston will stage the women’s competition at Agganis Arena at Boston University, June 5-7.
The 2008 Visa Championships will play an important role in qualifying for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials …
Both events will be covered by NBC Sports. The men’s and women’s artistic competitions are being held separately because their final preparation plans for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials are different. The two have been held separately a number of times in the event’s long history.
The 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials are June 19-22 at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.
