TEAM GYM CUP 2010 - Blume-Gran Canaria  - University of Las Palmas, Tafira; 19. November -
_________________________________________
Third became the Italians of "A.S.P. Expri Nucenta".
In the senior competition the “Stag Gymnastic of club" from Norway won with 53.80 points.
The TeamGym morging started a little hectically and to the surprise of all, no apparatus had been built up in the university hall. That´s the way it is, at Blume:
Everybody took this calmly, everybody assists - not over organized, and then at the end everything went like clockwork, even with a punctual end of the competition. Just "Blume" and the Team Gym members are a highly motivated persons which wants to offer in their european competitions tournament the real team's thought to young people , unlike in the individual competitions in gymnastic and trampoline.

How did the last competition of the 6'er-series run in 2010?
The junior team competition was in the centre of attention (-till 16 years).
Here, both British teams, the victorious "Crewe & Nantwich Gym and "Scarborough all stars" impressed by high performance level with attractive and clean basic technics.

By the way, the disciplines...:
Demanded in the TeamGym competition are a floor-group exercise (max. 12 gymnasts, time limit 2.30 - 3.00 min), as well as acrobatic series on tumbling and trampoline jumps series - with or / and jump table.
On the floor they also achieved the highest evaluations by far.

1. F L O O R  P R O G R A M
Different to aerobic or artistic gymnastic choreographies here fluent sequences are demanded with harmonic changes between acrobatic or gymnastic elements
- it depends on this harmonious, wave -and swing movements and the synchronous, also dancing performance. The execution is judged under following headings:
- 2 different pirouettes - from all members performed synchronous
- 2 balance elements, like state splits, strength holds, handstands, mind. 2 seconds
- 2 different acrobatic elements... ... and in mixed teams other special requirements are included, for example partner exercises, according to the ambitious regulation...!
The floor program is the base discipline of the TeamGym competition, because here the hole team have to perform to obtain the start permission for both subsequent disciplines.

2. T U M B L I N G:Also here the juniors from Great Britain were the best by far and technically the most impressive. For each acrobatic round 6 gymnasts start in a team - besides, a personnel change in the team is allowed in each round. Three acrobatic series are demanded and always 2 gymnasts must be at the same time in movement. Each series must consist of at least three different acrobatic elements, without intermediate steps

3. M I N I  T R A M P O L I N +/-  Vaulting Table
 What is valid basically for the Tumbling is also usual here.
3 rounds were performed with or without the vaulting apparatus. At least one round had to be performed without apparatus. Each team determined their 3 different rounds themselfes. In the senior category of the Blume competition, e.g., the Norwegian winner's team impressed, e.g., on the table with handspring, salto forward stretched with 1 1/2-length rotations as the highest difficulty.
