Daily Newsletter: Saturday

The 15th World Gym­naestrada has ended and the feel­ings all around move from grate­ful to sad and happy. It’s also time for our last news­let­ter.

This day started with the Gym­nas­tics Work­shops at the Mes­sukeskus Expo and Con­ven­tion Cen­tre. We hope that ev­ery­one had the chance to par­tic­i­pate to these, be­cause as a gym­nast ever one of you should know that lit­tle stretch­ing is good for your body be­fore long jour­ney home. You can find pic­tures from the work­shops from our Face­book page.

The last FIG Gala was also per­formed to­day morn­ing at the Hel­sinki Ice Hall. You can watch the show af­ter­wards from Yle Areena.

The main event to­day was nat­u­rally the Of­fi­cial Clos­ing Cer­e­mony at the Hel­sinki Olympic Sta­dium. It was an emo­tional hap­pen­ing and a spec­tac­u­lar end to a mem­o­rable fes­ti­val week. You can read more feel­ings from the Open­ing Cer­e­mony here.

As it is the last day of our event we don’t have tips for you tomorrow. But we still have some tips to give you for the next four years:

• Keep the Earth Mov­ing by lov­ing gym­nas­tics
• Hold up to your 15^th World Gym­naestrada 2015 Hel­sinki mem­o­ries
• When the time comes, book your flight to Dorn­birn be­cause that’s where we meet next time
