BLUME-Festival

Competitions were also part of the festival programme again

In addition to a TEAM-GYM event, took place the IX. International Rhythmic Gymnastics Tournament for the BLUME-CUP.
In addition to the traditional guests from Germany, represented by SKC Tabea Halle, there was also a strong Italian group from Milan, as well as guests from the Ukraine and Denmark, and in the team gym the gymnasts from the British Scarborough's Gymnastics Club, all of whom met up with the youngsters from the various age groups from the Canary Islands, most of whom were experiencing their first international competition ...:

But above all, there are the friendly connections and encounters between the athletes from many countries, which are cultivated from a young age and thus become a matter of course.

And what would the enthusiastic schoolgirls, teenagers and adolescents be without the pedagogical, training methodological guidance and influence of the many helpers, trainers and coaches!

So it is more than just a polite gesture on the part of the Blume organisers to pay tribute to the
more than just a polite gesture on the part of the Blume organisers,
without which results - and certainly not at international level - would not be achieved:
