The Aerobic elite will be well present in Elvas. I am looking forward to a very promising spectacle and I hope that it will appeal to UEG member federations that have not yet included Aerobic gymnastics in their national programme. I am encouraging them to come and join us and I am looking forward to meeting them in Portugal in November.
For these European Championships, we have registered the participation of 23 countries in the seniors’ category and 18 in the juniors. In total, 237 exercises await the 46 mobilised judges. These numbers show that the discipline is in full growth. Our Committee has prepared the event with its expertise, as it is always done, and in perfect synergy with the FIG AER TC President, Mireille Ganzin (FRA), who has always actively contributed to the satisfying development of our discipline.
And this European Championship proves it with the spectacular increase of the number of groups and mixed pairs, 20 respectively 15 in juniors’ category and 13 respectively 20 in seniors’.
For Elvas, I would not venture to pronounce any predictions as the field is deep! Let the best win and as we say in Italy, « In bocca al Lupo ! », meaning “good luck” !
Let the event be wonderful and marked by Fair-Play. A nice birthday present for the 20 years of Aerobic!
