Gymnastics World Cup 2020 - CANCELLED
This event has been cancelled
Event Details
In light of the UK Government’s move from the ‘contain’ to the ‘delay’ phase of their coronavirus action plan, and the updated advice with respect to the hosting of mass gatherings British Gymnastics has made the difficult decision to cancel all national events from today until Tuesday 30 June.
Jane Allen MBE, Chief Executive Officer, British Gymnastics said, “This was a very difficult decision and we share the disappointment of members, gymnasts, coaches, clubs and volunteers. However, our number one priority is the health and wellbeing of the whole gymnastics family.
We have made the decision to cancel all events until the end of June in the hope that this decisive action will remove uncertainty and take the pressure off clubs, coaches and gymnasts. We hope removing the pressure of preparing for these events will allow clubs to more effectively manage the challenges they are facing.
This announcement is focused specifically on national events. Please understand, all other British Gymnastics activities continue as usual. We will continue to review our activities daily based on advice and guidance from the Government and Public Health England.”
Whilst the cancellation of these events will have an impact on everybody, it is important to note our elite gymnasts will continue to train and compete where possible, and we will continue to support them in their goal to be selected to compete at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games.
All ticket holders will receive an automatic refund within 14 days. You can find more information from The Ticket Factory here.
We’re mindful of the impact cancellations particularly have on qualification and selection. We’re working closely with technical committees and relevant parties to identify what steps we need to take to resolve any issues caused by cancellations.
