The 2010 Visa Gymnastics Championships kick off next week in Hartford, Connecticut and Gymnastike will be on hand for coverage of the event, the biggest meet of the year for American Gymnastics. 

Coverage will begin Tuesday, August 10th with videos from podium training, interviews, and coverage of the Olympic Medal Ceremony for the 2000 US Women's Olympic Team. On competition days (Wednesday through Saturday) we'll provide live updates of the competition, post-meet interviews, and highlights.
