Vlaamse Turnliga, Host of the World Champioships 2001
          BELGIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

The National Gym finals : 
Duels in all disciplines!
 

Good for television
The Flemish Gymnastics League VTL organised on May 19th,  in the Topsporthall Vlanderen in Ghent - the venue of the 35th World Champioships of Artistic Gymnastics 2001 - the Belgian Gym Finals.
This competition consists in duels between only the two best Belgian gymnasts in all the disciplines and apparatuses. It was an excellent possibility for TV transmission!!
The evening began with the double-mini trampoline (DMT) for the women, the womens' groups in sports acrobatics and the floor exercise in mens' artistic gymnastics while the eightst group concluded the competition with mens' trampolining and in artistic gymnastics the horizontal bar and the womens' floor exercise.
This kind of competition is very media and audience-friendly, giving the possibility to see all the best national gymnasts in just one evening and this - unlike a gala - in a competitive atmosphere.
For the organisers, it was also a good preparation for the coming world championships in artistic gymnastics.

Topsporthal Vlanderen: Venue of World Championships

   TV taugliches Format
Die Flämische Turnliga VTL (Belgien) führte am 19. Mai mit Erfolg ihr sogenanntes "GYMfinale 2001" durch. Es fand in der "Topsporthal Vlanderen" statt, Schauplatz der bevorstehenden 35. Weltmeisterschaften 2001 in Gent. Die Besoderheit dieser Nationalen Gerätemeisterschaften ist: Nach den nationalen belgischen Mehrkampf-Meisterschaften aller Gymnastics-Disziplinen qualifizierten sich nur die beiden besten an/mit den einzelnen Geräten oder Disziplinen für dieses Gymfinale. 
Somit wurden diese Duelle der jeweils Gerätebesten im Kunstturnen, der Rhythmischen Sportgymnastik, im Trampolinturnen und in der Sportakrobatik zu einer hochkarätigen und abwechslungreichen Topveranstaltung, die das flämische Fernsehen promt mit ausführlicher Bildschirmpräsenz belohnte!
