60th International BLUME FESTIVAL opens in Las Palmas

Blume-Chief Jesus TELO jr.

Actually, it is a grand European record that only an extraordinary pandemic could interrupt for two years:
Where else is there a broad sporting event of this international character, which has now opened for over six decades on the "Island of Eternal Spring", on Gran Canarao - with a press conference led by chief organiser Jesus TELO RODRIGUEZ, son of the family of the festival's founder, Jesus TELO NUÑEZ, who died a few years ago. He created this festival of hearts in memory of the 4-time European gymnastics champion Joaquin BLUME, who died in a plane crash in the 1950's.

BLUME-Chief-Organiser Jesus Telo (li.) opened the press conference and welcomed the top representatives of Canary Islands sport, Francisco Castellano Ortiz, the Minister of Sport of the regional government and President of the Sports Institute of Gran Canaria, as well as Aridany Romero Vega, the Councillor for Sport of the island's capital Las Palmas and President of the Board of Directors of the Municipal Institute of Sport.

60^th BLUME-FESTIVAL GRAN CANARIA 2022 - this is also thanks to the tireless and continuous support of the local administration, the regional government of the Canary Islands as well as the local bodies of the island capital Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the municipal councils in the south of San Fernando, Maspalomas and the numerous towns and municipalities of the island,where there will be numerous performances and festival appearances and which will live in BLUME Festival fever for a whole week.

At the press conference on site, it was therefore also mentioned that this festival has acquired its decades-long vitality particularly through the fact that the Canarian organisers have succeeded in inspiring the entire school system of the entire Canarian archipelago to take part:
Here, over the course of the year, elements and programmes of gymnastic, gymnastics or acrobatic content are incorporated into the curriculum, creatively designed with the pupils, practised and then the best groups are rewarded annually with proud performances on the stages of their towns and cities. The BLUME Festival Committee then arranges for international guests and formations to come - this year there are over 350 guests and groups from nine countries - resulting in lasting memories and lifelong emotions for the young people and adults.
!! An ingenious system that not only provides the rationale for these 60 years of existence, is still up to date, and is actually an absolute model for all European education systems!

The next few days will see the start of a colourful event in many island communities of Gran Canaria, with some spectacular highlights in the tourist centre of Maspalomas in the sunny south of the island, where most of the delegations have already arrived, including guests from Scandinavia, from Great Britain, from Italy and from Germany, all of whom have taken up residence in the festival hotel "BEVERLY PARK" in Playa del Inglès:

Alsi the management of this Tourist Hotel, with its sunny and palm-shaded swimming pools - less than 200 meters away from the island's sunny beach - has been part of this special "BLUME family tribe" for decades, and reliably and caringly looks after the well-being of its international sporty guests. For this reason alone, it is worth a trip even outside the festival days ...!

International BLUME Competitions 2022
For several years now, the BLUME organisers have also included some international competitions in the programme:
The first highlight will be a four-country RG Tournament between hosts from Spain, Denmark, Italy and Germany on Saturday (26 November).
The gymnasts of the German Sport- und Kultur-Club SKC TaBeA Halle, whose programmes are eagerly awaited and who even want to perform parts of their upcoming show "INFINITY" here in Spain - in a way as a last test before the premiere on 17 December at home in Halle's Händelhaus - are possible favourites...!
We will report on this in our next daily report, on Saturday, 26 November.

→ ... and for all that is to come, and what has to be clarified and organised operationally, the Spanish organisation team has at its disposal a proven and international staff of helpers and co-workers, without whom all this could not be managed:
