GYMNAESTRADA
MALTESE CONTINGENT
A FANTASTICAL INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR ALL

“The World Gymnaestrada plays an important role in promoting a world view in society where focus is less on being better than somebody else, but about celebrating diversity, cooperation and community both on a social (age, gender, nationality) and physical (skills, forms) level.”

Keizersgracht (The Emperor’s Canal), Amsterdam
Chun Gymnastics is the first contingent from Malta to take part in the World Gymneastrada. This is an FIG (International Gymnastics Governing Body) recognised event, which took place in Dornbirn, Austria from the 7th to the 13th of July 2019 and Amsterdam, Netherlands from the 30th July to the 5th of August 2023, encompassing more than 60 nations and 20,000 participants. World Gymnaestrada is the world's biggest gymnastics festival, where various countries showcase their talent through various gymnastics and acrobatic performances shown on live broadcasts. A total number of 90 gymnasts and coaches from our club took part in 2019 and 2023!
It is a GFA (Gym for All) event that occurs every four years, and this year in 2023 we managed to raise enough money for the Gymnaestrada event to cover the cost of the costume, kit (tracksuit, 2 shorts, 3 t-shirts & a bag), pins & flags for each Maltese participant. We give a huge thanks to all of our participants for supporting our fundraising initiatives, especially our sponsors: Visit Malta, Corinthia Group, Sphinx, Alberta, RM Developers, Malta Freeport, Maria Rosa Winery Ltd., Finestral, ESS, Sparkle Images and BOV for making this possible.
The next World Gymnaestrada shall be held in 2026, Portugal!
