From The Hartford (Connecticut) Courant:
HARTFORD, Conn. – The head of USA Gymnastics says Hartford has been chosen as the site of the 2010 national championships and the main world championship qualifier.
An official announcement is planned for noon Wednesday at the state Capitol. Legendary women’s gymnastics coach Bela Karolyi and Gov. M. Jodi Rell are expected to be among those attending.
USA Gymnastics President and Chief Executive Steve Penny says the Visa Championships will be held at the XL Center Aug. 11 to 14 of next year. He says Hartford was chosen for its compact, walkable environment and the ability to use the XL Center’s adjoining expo center for warm-up and practice gyms.
State government and sports officials say it’s one of the biggest events Hartford has ever landed.

Hi there, I read through your site and really liked the content you have posted about the various aspects of gymnastics (from weedings and babies to TV programs…quite diverse). I was wondering if you would be interested in exchanging Blogroll links. My site gets about 2000 page views per month.
Please let me know if you are interested, and keep up the great blogging.
Regards,
Larry
