The O2 Arena, London 13th-18th October 2009
British Gymnastics are thrilled to announce that the
41st World Artistic Gymnastic Championships will be coming to
"The O2 in London" in October 2009. This will be the first time the event has ever been held in the capital and a welcome return to the United Kingdom after a decade away.
Beijing 2008 has shown the huge potential and talent of our young gymnasts and has also put interest in gymnastics at an all time high. ...
British Gymnastics are giving club members the opportunity to buy tickets for the 2009 Championships in advance of the general public and receive a 10% discount on ticket prices.
Demand will be very high and we want to ensure our members can make the most of what will be a wonderful spectacle.
"The O2" is a state of the art venue with brilliant sight lines, making it the ultimate place to see the World’s best compete. In fact, The O2 will also be hosting the gymnastics at the 2012 Olympics, where we will hopefully be cheering on an unprecedented amount of British gymnasts.
