1. World Acrobatic Gymnastics Championship to be Held in
US for First Time
The 2012 World Acrobatic
Gymnastics Championships, along
with the World Age-Group
Competition, will be held April 16-
18 and April 20-22 respectively at
the ESPN Wide World of Sports
Complex's HP Field House at Walt
Disney World Resort near Orlando,
Fla. More than 600 gymnasts total are expected to participate.
This will be the first time this event has been held outside of
Europe.
The event was recently announced and described in a joint
press release from USA Gymnastics and the International
Gymnastics Federation. “This event will combine the beauty of
dance with the strength and agility of acrobatics. Routines are
choreographed to music and consist of dance, tumbling, and
partner skills. At the elite level, each pair or group performs a
balance, dynamic and combined routine. Pyramids and partner
holds characterize the balance routine, while synchronized
tumbling and intricate flight elements define the dynamic
exercise.
Tentative schedules for the events have been announced.
Currently, the World Championships qualification rounds will be
held on April 16-17 with finals on April 18. The World Age
Group Competition qualification rounds will take place on April
20-21 with finals on April 22. The World Age Group
Competition has two age categories, 11-16 and 12-19.
