Rhythmic<br />
The MEC was also be the competition venue for the 2003<br />
World Gymnastics Championships.<br />
It is proposed that a warm-up facility be constructed in an air<br />
conditioned hall adjoining the competition venue.<br />
This facility would contain two full sets of equipment and be available for training at least<br />
seven days prior to and during the event.<br />
It is proposed that both the Artistic Gymnastics and Rhythmic Gymnastic disciplines will be<br />
conducted on an internationally accredited, purpose built, demountable podium within MEC.<br />
Its capacity of 7 500 is considered necessary given the popularity of Gymnastics at the<br />
Commonwealth Games. All equipment utilised for this event will be of the highest international<br />
standard.<br />
