Attractive aesthetic weekend
Not only for insiders but for a big number of ''theatre visitors of sport'' the creations of the gymnastic groups are an aesthetic non-plus-ultra in sports choreographies. The changes from ballet, performances and dance are flowing when five gymnasts are performing their choreography with ball, ribbon or clubbs at the same time on the floor.
The Organizers are confident that not only fans are going to find the way to Duesseldorf into the gym and hope for 1.200 visitors.
At the olympic group competition (AA) are up to 14 teams, within Olympic gold medalist Russia (< (photo, left), competing against each other.
On friday (Sep. 23) starts the qualification - the eight best teams are going to move into the finals on Saturday
