Well, I'm still sick but THIS was almost enough to bring me out of my feverish state:
2010 Pacific Rim Championships will be held in Melbourne!
What a boost for the sport! People will clamour to come and see the USA and China and Russia (among others) take on Australia, woohoo!
How have people gone with getting Nationals tickets? I'm heading to a Ticketek tomorrow.

Being sick sucks... hope you get better soon! I was going to get the tickets yesterday but since I'm confirming some other tickets in the near future I thought I'd get them all at once to save booking fees. Pacific Rim? Wow! Hehe, 2010 is such a long time away. My favourites will have retired (save one)... will I even care about gymnastics any more? But this will be awesome. And gymnastics will get media coverage, yay. Now Australia just needs the gymnasts.
Mind you, it's a Commonwealth Games year so hopefully Aussies and Canucks aren't burnt out from over-preparation.
Who knows if any of us will care about gymnastics in 2 years? I suppose it all stands or falls on the Beijing results, really.
2010 is also the year of the first official youth olympics which will be held in Singapore. Maybe you need to go to the International 10 sessions and see the girls that are in the Towards 2010 squad. i've seen some of them train and even though they won't necessarily be performing the skills they are still perfecting, there is some great future prospects - i've even seen some double layouts being trained.
I didn't know that about the youth Olympics -- that's so cool. But... I've just remembered that if all goes well I'll be on exchange in Japan in 2010. Oh well.
I've got my tix for Nats!
Front row rippers, smack bang overlooking beam!
Oh, and Pac Rim news made my day...
