<<  Two ‘historical heavyweights’ of European gymnastics festivals in an exchange of ideas:
Although not comparable in size and dimension, the 62^nd edition of the BLUME-FESTIVAL de Gran Canaria, as the smaller Spanish sister, does not look so small compared to the 43 German gymnastics festivals in German sports history to date (since 1860)! Reason enough to maintain the long-standing contacts and co-operation with each other. The ‘International German Gymnastics Festival’ Leipzig 2025 sent two of its ambassadors to Gran Canaria to engage in a lively exchange of ideas and inform the Blume Festival participants from 15 European nations about the upcoming major event in Leipzig (GER) at the end of May next year.

"Our contact with the organisers of German gymnastics festivals is even older than our festival itself," says Jesus TELO RODRIGUEZ. "It goes back to my father to the end of the 50's of the last century: Even before he launched the 1^st BLUME Festival in 1960, he was there himself, and many times after that! And, of course, we will also be organising interesting events at the upcoming next German Gymnastics Festival: In particular, we are inviting outstanding participants from the aesthetic category ‘Rendezvous of the Best’ - a special German show category - but also from the discipline of Acrobatic Gymnastics, to our next festival on our island, whose costs we will cover as a certain honour for their achievements."
