TBILISI GYMNAESTRADA 2024

On April 26-29 of this year, Tbilisi hosted the 4th International gymnastics tournament in Gymnastics for All, "Tbilisi Gymnaestrada". About 1000 participants from 66 teams of Georgia and Azerbaijan took part in the tournament. The age of the participants ranged from 3 years to 50 years. This tournament was held for the first time in 2021 and 105 athletes took part in it. This year the tournament was held with a ten time increased number of participants. In addition, the geography of participating teams from Georgia has also increased. The teams of Bolnisi and Akhaltsikhe participated in the tournament for the first time. It is also worth noting the participation of two groups: Zumba Fitness Georgia, who took part in the tournament for the second time with their members with special needs, and Buckswood School's first participation in the tournament, which is very commendable because we hope that in the future more people with special needs and more school and university teams will participate. Mr. Ruslan Eyvazov, a member of the Technical Committee of Gymnastics for All of the European Gymnastics , attended the tournament and shared his experience and feedbacks with the organizing committee. That was a very import for LOC and Federation too. Mr. Eyvazov noted that the tournament was held at a high professional level. The National Gymnastics Federation of Georgia would like to thank the Ministry of Culture and Sports of Georgia and the City Hall of Tbilisi for the help with the organization of the tournament. We thank our colleague Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation for sending teams to participate in this tournament every year. We would like to thank the Hotel ,,Light House Old Tbilisi" for the high level of hospitality. And of course, many thanks to the individual participants, coaches, choreographers, head of the clubs, technical service and volunteers who helped us to hold such a grand and beautiful event! We hope that there will be more of us next year!
