2012 Kellogg's Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships
The Pacific Rim Championships was the largest international elite gymnastics event to be held in Washington since the 1990 Goodwill Games. Over 300 of the World’s best gymnasts headed to Comcast Arena from March 16 to 18, 2012, to compete in artistic men’s and women’s gymnastics as well as trampoline and rhythmic gymnastics. Positioned less than five months before the 2012 Olympic games, this event gave us all a taste of which athletes within the US and other gymnastics powerhouse countries are ready to take on the world in London.
