Gymnastics for All is a wonderful concept.
However, our demanding sport is MUCH easier for youth.
An FIG event in the Canary Islands offered some interesting workshops for adults:
… targeting gymnasts 50 years and older and coined the “Golden Age Gym Festivalâ€. The festival will put to good use the existing infrastructures in Grand Canary, and will be an opportunity to profit from the expertise of local organiser Jose Télo. A diverse line-up of sporting activities has been grouped into more than 20 workshops. To name a just a few: Aqua Gym Fitness – FunHydro Bio – Fit Ball Wellness – Tai Chi Chuan for beginners and advanced – Latin Aerobics – Line Dance – Chrisrobic – Flamenco Dance – Baile Salsa – Nordic Walking. All courses will be given by highly qualified instructors. …
OK. Nordic walking is not an activity that anyone would call “gymnastics”.
But this is an interesting initiative. Expanding the definition of our sport.
I hear very good things about the FIG Sport for All organization , by the way.

Apparently, they call it gymnastics. I’ve often noticed that some countries call anything that consists of getting up and moving your ass, “gymnastics”.
