”At last the World Gym­naestrada is here and years of wait­ing are fi­nally over! This is cer­tainly a dream come true for the gym­nas­tics com­mu­nity. It is great to get to host this event for the in­ter­na­tional gym­nas­tics fam­ily, when year af­ter year they’ve or­gan­ised un­for­get­table World Gym­naestradas for us. Now it is our turn”, the Pres­i­dent of the Lo­cal Or­gan­is­ing Com­mit­tee Kirsti Par­ta­nen de­scribes her feel­ings on this open­ing day.
