19. GYMNASTICS INTERNATIONAL 2008
- Fellbach-Schmiden, 8th/9th March -
Future-oriented....
By now all important gymnastics nations have registered so that we can count on an excellent tournament.
This time the juniors will receive special attention, since the date of the tournament is short before the Juniors' European Championships in June in Turin (Italy). For the youngsters, it is the last opportunity to present themselves in the public and to gain experience in a tournament before the Championships. A lot of countries asked for the admission of several junior gymnasts. For the German juniors, who are the inner choice for the JECh, the 19th Gymnastics International is a binding competition and one of two official qualification. Besides the Israeli federation declared the 19th Gymnastics International a qualification for their JECh candidates!
