No mega sporting event is complete without an Opening Ceremony and in our time we've seen a few.
Who can forget Cathy Freeman lighting the Olympic Flame at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games? Or the parachuting arrival of Her Majesty The Queen and James Bond into London’s 2012 Games stadium? Now it's time for the 2013 Australian Gymnastics Championships Opening Ceremony. It will be a much more subdued affair with our own royalty and celebrity guests, super morphs, State representatives, flags and speeches to ignite the competitive spirit in all of us.
Just prior to the official commencement of competition, Session 1 on Sunday 7th July, on the very same surface set to receive tumbles, leaps, jumps and bounds, spins, balances and hundreds of judges' and coaches' footsteps bear witness to our Opening Ceremony. A proud nation made brighter by shining State lights, sending out the beams to all near and far to join the event.
