A few days before the 2007 European Championships the Union of European Gymnastics (UEG) arranged a new partnership contract running until 2012, with the German company  SPIETH Gymnastic (Esslingen), specialised in gymnastics material and as one of the "Official Suppliers" of the UEG.

SPIETH - also a long time partner of GYMmedia INTERNATIONAL , from the beginning (1997) on -  has for many years already been "Official supplier" of gymnastics apparatus, in particular for European Championships in artistic and rhythmic gymnastics...

SPIETH Gymnastics - partner of gymnastics federations
Spieth Gymnastics provides the UEG with gymnastics apparatus, which the UEG will use to support its member federations in the framework of its solidarity and development programme.

Spieth's managing Director  Ulrich SPIETH said to GYMmedia:
"Our company will give two complete state of the art and high leveled apparatus sets of artistic gymnastics on hand the UEG.
We believe this is a good way to help some UEG member federations to develop artistic gymnastics in Europe!"

... on the edge of Europeans
Furthermore, Janssen & Fritsen - presently "Official Supplier" of the European Championships in Amsterdam - will offer to one of the participating federations a vaulting table, as was the case in Volos in 2006;
the lucky federation will be determined by a drawing of lots.

<< In 2006, the vaulting table went to Luxembourg.
This was a very happy day for this federation as one of their junior gymnasts managed to win the bronze medal on vault on the very same day!
