  • Rimini: - 2 Giorni Al Campionato Di Serie A, B Ed L1 Di Trampolino! Ufficializzate Le Formazioni
    http://www.federginnastica.it/index.php?module=articolo&idContentPage=12842 Rimini: - 2 giorni al Campionato di Serie A, B ed L1 di Trampolino! Ufficializzate le formazioni L’anno scorso, a maggio, fu la quarta ed ultima tappa. Proprio al 105 Stadium di Rimini si assegnavano gli scudetti rispettivamente nella sezione Maschile e in quella Femminile dell’edizione 2015. Quest’anno la serie tricolore parte invece dalla Romagna, una sorta di trampolino di lancio verso le Olimpiadi di Rio, considerato che la tappa riminese sarà il primo grande test in vista dei Giochi di Rio, in particolar modo per il settore Femminile. Stiamo parlando del Campionato italiano di Serie A e B di Ginnastica Artistica ed L1 di Trampolino Elastico che terrà banco venerdì e sabato a Rimini. Ieri, nella Sala Giunta della Residenza Municipale, è stata ufficialmente presentata la gara di apertura della rassegna tricolore, organizzata dalla FGI e dal Comitato Oranizzatore Pesaro Gym. A fare gli onori di casa le istituzioni locali, a cominciare dall’assessore allo sport, Gianluca Brasini: “La ginnastica a Rimini ha basi molto solide, è uno sport nel Dna di questa città, basti pensare che lo stadio comunale è intitolato al mitico Romeo Neri, vincitore di tre ori alle Olimpiadi di Los Angeles del 1932. Rimini si conferma, con questo appuntamento, città della ginnastica e dello sport, grazie alla collaborazione con Esatour e con le società locali si è creata una partnership indissolubile. La Ginnastica a Rimini può vantare numeri importanti – ha continuato Brasini – ha una propria ‘casa’ nella palestra di Via Euterpe, in cui peraltro faremo lavori di riqualificazione, ma investiremo anche nella palestra Primo Maggio”.
