The 2010 Berlin Masters event will be held in the illustrious city from the 30th to the 31st of October. This is the final event in the Rhythmic Gymnastics Grand Prix calendar, with previous legs being held in Moscow, Kiev, Thiais, Marbella, Innsbruck, Holon and Brno. This is considered one of the best meets and at the conclusion the best gymnast of the series is awarded the "Winner's Prize". Some big, big names are set to line up and I personally do not believe that the Russians cannot be pipped for the top honours. Would love to know who you picks are!

The 2010 edition of the Innsbruck Rhythmic Gymnastics Grand Prix will be held from the 11th to the 13th of June. The competition will be held at the USI-Competition Hall Innsbruck and when they say on the official website that the hall is easy to get there, it's the honest truth!! I had a flight and tickets to watch the fifth World Cup event of the year, but some sad news has come to hand which I will share with you all very shortly. Anyways the organisational team took time out as a host for the last two years, but it's back and I am excited! Kanaeva and the Russians should dominate the Senior division, but don't count out Charkashyna, Staniouta and Garayeva. I haven't heard the names of many of the Juniors competing so will study up on them! Israeli competitor Neta Rivkin will not be in attendance, due to the death of her father.... All of us here at Keishlieta Gymnastique send our prayers and deepest sympathy to her and her family.
