<< Vera ATKINSON-MARINOVA, the British head of media and public relations of the British Gymnastics Federation for many years, is retiring after a quarter of a century of committed and successful work. The former Bulgarian rhythmic gymnastics world champion, who won two golds and one bronze between 1967 and 1971 as a member of the Bulgarian group, later made a name for herself as the voice of the gymnastics disciplines on Bulgarian television.
Vera Marinova left her...

This Friday, the world's oldest active gymnast, Johanna QUAAS, will celebrate her 95th birthday!
Since she was 56 years old - that was 1981 - she had started active gymnastics again, did it in a competitive and permanent manner suitable for senior citizens, was a regular participant of German gymnastics festivals (Turnfest") and won the title of "German senior gymnastics champion" in her age group 11 times in a row in the new millennium.
With these merits...
