After the end of the 54. Festival BLUME GRAN CANARIA 2014 Jesus Telo Rodriguez said:
"We have counted over 20.000 spectators during our Gym Festival and we could show some highlights, like our grandma from Germany, Johanna Quaas, with 89 years performing a marvelous routine on the floor together with his male partner in sports, Ernst Niesner from Hesse (GER) with 77 years - two gymnasts, 166 years together, who could imagine that gymnastics have no limits! It was a unique example that gymnastics is the basics for all sports, but also for health and good condition of body and mind, up into higher ages!
The following facts prove that we try to put new signs of the development of modern sport:
We wish all gymnasts a Merry Christmas and All the best for the WG year 2015!
