This photograph of the ruined QEII complex taken in June 2011 shows the gymnastic buildings in the foreground that are OK and still in use:
I coached there for the 2001-02 season. That’s the Christchurch School of Gymnastics. π
The Gymnastics Gyms are the only facilities left open in the massive QEII sports complex damaged in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake.
A recent news report:
‘You’re at QEII Park? I thought that was all closed?”
People working at the Christchurch School of Gymnastics hear this a lot. β¦
During 2011, the gym lost about 35 per cent of its members, says school chief executive Avril Enslow. But numbers are building back up now as homes in the area are repaired and people become more confident about where they’re going to live. β¦
Enslow is proud of the achievements of her competitive gymnasts. Seven of the school’s members are on the long list for the Commonwealth Games so they’ll be going to trial later this year and early next for the New Zealand team. β¦
