Many gymnasts around the world are getting ready to participate in a very unique event, The World Gymnaestrada. Some of you have been to Dornbirn before but I know that for many of you, it will be the first time. Maybe also the first time in Austria, the first time in Europe and even the first time you go abroad. For all of us it will be an exciting week where together we will be part of one big Gymnastics Happening! Everyone involved has to prepare and it goes for all of us. I would like to thank the FIG Member Federations that administrate the registrations of participants and then the Local Organising Committee that is working hard to get everything ready for us. It takes years to prepare a one-week event for 20,000 participants with many volunteers actively involved. Please read the information in the Bulletin carefully and and I hope to meet many of you at the Second Information meeting, open for all FIG Member Federations, in September 2018. Margaret Sikkens Ahlquist FIG Gymnastics for All Committee President Proven, New and Anticipation Preparations for the World Gymnaestrada 2019 in Dornbirn are running at full speed in all fields of activity. While we can make use of the experiences gained in 2007, we certain- ly also want to develop and implement several new ideas. Having set an ambitious goal of welcoming more than 60 national federations next year in Austria, we are delighted to see that the positive figures taken from the pre-registrations bring us already very close to such a target. Many participants want to stay again in »their« national villages and meet their hosts and friends from back then once more. This shows us that our concept from 2007 has been successful and is going to be easily accepted another time. Which new ideas can you look forward to? Be surprised and enrich us with various performances and your enthusiasm in gymnastics in a friendly gathering amongst 20,000 people from all over the world – we look forward to meeting YOU.
