Firstly, the venue is very lacking and I should always remember that. The seating is horribly uncomfortable. I'm not all that big of a person, but with the cup holders on both arms of the seats, I actually had to turn sideways getting in and out of the seat, they are so narrow and I'm only 5' 6-1/2" tall and my knees hit the back of the seat in front of us. As to the event, we watched gymnastics. The tumbling on the long mats was okay, the balance beam was much better, but they had some ridiculous event that looked like an obstacle course that used huge rectangular elevated mats, assorted uneven bars and a wooden wall like would be used in military training. The first round was a timed course (and it appeared the course could be changed by the participant) and the second was a point system for artistic performance. We did not enjoy this part of the event, it was nothing like you imagined a gymnastics competition would be like. They had no vaulting and no uneven bars competitions. Most participants wore baggy shirts. I really wanted to see the floor exercises, but the weird competition just went on and on and it was getting late and we had an early morning the next day, so we left without seeing it. We wanted to support the Aurora games, but this was disappointing. My husband said he would not want to go next year but I told him that it wasn't going to be here next year, which I guess is a good thing.
