Jesus Telo Rodriguez (ESP): ... fighting for a stronger public and media impact! |
The Spanish organizer and long-time managing director of the worldwide-wellknown and unique Gymnastics Festival "BLUME Gran Canaria" in memoriam of the of fatally injured Spanish former European champion in artistic gymnastics, Joaquin BLUME, Sen Jesus TELO RODRIGUZ, also drew in the year of the World Gymnaestrada in Helsinki a very positive assessment:
"We welcomed in BLUME GRAN CANARIA 2015 more than 1.000 foreign gymnasts from over 21 different countries on Cran Canaria!

"It shows our organicing committee that gymnastics is universal and don´t have any limits! For the first time we celebrated this year 5 evening gymnastics events at the improved outdoor stage in Maspalomas under a magic environment. All 5 gym shows were excellent visited by 2.000 spectators and participants every night. Special moment was BLUME GRAN CANARIA GALA on Thursday evening that we bring from the capital to Maspalomas for the first time and we think it was also a successful idea ...!
"All our BLUME Festival gymnastics shows this year were very nice and we think to offer the second stage in parallel to offer enough space for the improved number of groups.
BLUME GRAN CANARIA gymnastics Festivals should keep the attractiveness for the spectator and the excitement for the gymnasts.
The special flair for the European gymnasts to perform routines outdoors during winter time shall keep as the brand mark of BLUME GRAN CANARIA in the future!"

" Also our "50plus society" for people in the "golden age" lifetime is growing rapidly and is a fact that are expecting movement programs combined with international networking.
The international workshops program unified more than 700 participants during the week under the leadership of 32 instructors coming from 16 different countries. Such a variety of gymnastics and movement offer is again a fantastic experience and underlines the importance of education and social needs in our society.
We are convinced that the mixture of pleasant temperature and workshops is the energy-charger that are claiming the gymnasts before starting the Christmas period."
"Gran Canaria has improved sensible the number of direct flights and several groups from Central Europe, Great Britain or Scandinavia are flying to Gran Canaria more economic for example than travelling within domestic lines by train. This extraordinary option is based on the actual flight offers from more than 45 European airports.
Probably this facts were an additional reason for the groups participation during a World Gymnaestrada year to visit the 55th anniversary of BLUME GRAN CANARIA 2015.
BLUME GRAN CANARIA 2015 participation figures are eloquent:

Jesus Telo said: "As organizers we are very happy about the participation this year and the development of the different program events. With more than 35 events 55th BLUME GRAN CANARIA 2015 was an international gymnastics happening offering all disciplines for the groups and spectators.
→ As one of the Council Members of "EUROPEAN GYM FESTIVALS" (EGF), we invite more international event organizers to joinin our virtual community " E G F " to network with each other for more global publicity!
All our Canary BLUME organizers are looking forward to enjoy the next international BLUME event that will take place from 2016, November 25th till December 3rd".
