WAG World Gymnastics Championships Montreal 2017

[Tlynn]

The World Artistic Championships will be in Montreal next year and we are considering making a family vacation out of it. After watching the Olympics, the kids and I would be most excited to see the stars from Rio. Which gymnasts do you think will retire or sit out next year's worlds? I am particularily interested in the U.S. Womens Team and Ellie Black from the Canadian team.

I wouldn't expect any of the US Olympians to be at next year's worlds, except maybe Laurie Hernandez. I think most of them will take time off for the tour/publicity, etc....Madison Kocian is going to do NCAA gym so won't be competing elite. Therefore, I would expect to see maybe Ashton Locklear, Ragan Smith, Norah Flatley, Bailie Key, and maybe some new seniors.

Hard to know who will be there, but most likely new up and coming seniors. I will be there for sure, just not competing!!

I would also expect Ellie to take some time off too.

Thanks! I kinda suspected that Ellie might not be there, but I am sure there will be a lot of talent there regardless

Ellie will be there but she's retiring after, so this will be her last comp.

I am not sure that we can say Ellie will be there and competing. I think we can say she said she plans to be there as her last comp. It is more than a year away. Even a week out teams are not set in stone.

Driving distance for us! How far in advance do tickets come out?

 

[flippingtogether]

I hadn't thought about it until now - but that will be exciting to see what US gymnasts are at Worlds in a year! There are the talented girls who had injuries leading up to the Olympics as mentioned (Bailie, Norah, Jazmyn), plus all the other very talented ladies at Olympics trials.... Plus perhaps rising seniors??

It will be fun to see!!!

Ooh that could be doable....yes, do keep us posted on tickets and such!

Planning to attend! Worlds in Glasgow was so much fun, I'm totally addicted! :d

 

[MAcastsalot]

I just bought our tickets! DD will be one excited kid!

 

[Mom2Chickadee]

Got our tickets today! They will be DD's birthday gift...just don't know if I can wait until August to tell her, lol.

 

[GymDad9.9]

I would love to take my family to that. Can't commit until I figure out whether my daughter will be competing in the fall next year.

 

[bogwoppit]

My crew bought our tickets today. Basically home for me.

@bogwoppit any recommendations for hotels close to a metro station that goes to Olympic Stadium? Not a long drive for me, but I'm not a fan of Montreal driving. Would prefer to park at the hotel an take the subway.

Just bought tickets for a bunch of us as well. Can't wait.... I think we will probably train it down.
Hotel suggestions near venue Bog?
So excited...

Do not stay near the venue, there is one hotel there and nothing else. Stay downtown near any metro station. The system is safe and clean Tons to do downtown and only 15 minutes to the Olympic stadium.

Is there a subway to Olympic stadium from downtown?
