PREVIEW: Austrian Aerobic Open in Wörgl with top athletes

Altogether 13 nations come from 9th until 10th October on invitation of the Austrian Federation of Gymnastics (ÖFT) to the 3rd Austrian Aerobic Open and 5th National Championships - including Youth Championships.
Almost 250 athletes of all age groups and categories will be this weekend in Wörgl (Tirol) at the start: Aerobic athletes out of Bulgaria, Moldavia, Netherlands, Rumania, Russia, Slovakia, White Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Thailand and India (!).

Favourite athlete in Individual Women:
Christina Philippi

'We are surprised of the interest, reckoned naturally not with such a strong registration. Almost all European top nations come, become in addition also as well as India or Thailand for special flair', is enthused organizer Helga Gschösser of LSA Tirol. 'Therefore we organisationally shifted the programm. It´s like never before in an Aerobic event in Austria. We guarantee a sporting experience of the high class!'

Christina Philippi (25), best Austrian Aerobic athlete of the general class and World Championship participant 2004, clarifies the favorite situation: 'All top categories generally will be occupied very well. Competitors in Individual Women are Janka Daubner from Germany and der Slowakian Zuzana Mistinova, both at the last World Championships before me.'

Young Austrian talent: Lubi Gazov

Her sister Elisabeth Philippi (second Austrian participant in the World Championships) is missing unfortunately injury contingent. Stefanie Achleitner and Brigitte Tischlinger for that planned a few things. Josef J. Borbely, Austrian men only in the international elite, found again high form and encounters on several World Championship participants.

In the new generation is favorite clearly the junior WCh-seventh Lubi Gazov, that counts worldwide to the large future in the Aerobics. If its presentation succeeds twice well, it is supposed to be able to win.
