The annual National Inter-school Gymnastics Championships is nearing once again in early July this year. And as we anticipate for the spectacular event each year, why not take a glimpse of what's in stored in the 2003 competition.

As usual, this year's respective venues for the Trampoline, Artistic Gymnastics, and Rhythmic Gymnastics competitions remain unchanged: the former will be ritually held at Co-curriculum Activities Branch Gymnasium at NIE on 05 July, the later two will take place at Bishan Sports Hall spanning two long weeks (07-19 July).

This year, The Chinese High School Gymnastics team has sent a total of 24 participating representatives for the competition, in vie for the championship.

B Division: Loh Tai Yuan Berne, Matthew Tay Rong Jie, Tan Bao Rui, Yeo Pei Han, Kang Yong Kia
C Division: Choo Bing Cheng, Heng Teng Boon, Lim Cher Sheen Daryl, Hoe Wah Toon, Hoe Wah Kiat

Be sure to look out for gymnasts vaulting onto the new vaulting table in Bishan Sports Hall this year. To ensure a higher degree of safety in vaulting, the gymnastics sports committee has introduced the usage of the vaulting table.

In addition, watch out for even greater and spectacular stunts displayed by the gymnasts. There is bound to be double saltos and twists, who knows maybe even more? In the coming weeks, we will be reviewing on individual TCHS gymnasts' routines, so stay tuned!
