*GYMfamily EventWorld Cup: Rhythmic Gymnastics: Miss Valentine

In two weeks, February 8 - 10, the traditional "Miss Valentine competition" takes place in Tartu, the second biggest city of Estonia to the 19th time, already - but to the very first time in its long history as a F.I.G World Cup event.
For nearly two decades this tournament in a row some of the best gymnasts come together every year on Valentine’s day to celebrate top gymnastics. Why just on Valentine’s day? The idea to organize such a competition came to world champion Janika Mölder in 1994 and the aim was to invite friends from different countries to participate.
As St. Valentine’s Day is a day of friendship and love this festival is for people who love gymnastics.
The festivity plays an important role in bringing warmth and grace to the crisp Estonian winter and is highly appreciated by the local audience.
Miss Valentine is known for its enjoyable ambience and cheering crowd.

... a very long and successfully tradition!
