9th EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS TeamGym 2012 - Qualifications

ISLAND starts first on floor, followed by GBR performing on tumbling. The team from SWE enters third to present their routine on trampet and so on.
The Danish were of course loudly welcomed and applauded by their home crowd.The teams pass one after the other one at the three different apparatus: floor, tumbling and trampet.
On floor, the whole group presents a choreography mixing artistic and acrobatic elements.
The gymnasts show flips, twists, saltos, balance and power elements…
For tumbling and trampet, the gymnasts of a same team perform closely one after each other. They perform their routine accompanied by music which makes the spectacle even more attractive. The atmosphere is catching and one can see some of the spectators moving and dancing on their chair!
It is actually very impressive to see these young gymnasts lining up and performing so closely one after each other, hurrying to clear the landing area for their teammates.
