During the week of November 11 and 18, 2015, the Gymnastics Federation of Qatar hosted a Level 2 Academy for Men’s and Women’s Artistic Gymnastics. …
Eighteen coaches attended the Academy from ten different federations – Egypt, France, Indonesia, India, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Philippines, South Africa and Yemen. In addition, a coach from Palestine attended full time as an observer. Uniquely, this was the first time in 212 Academies that the host federation did not register any of its own citizens. Qatar has many foreign coaches working within its borders and many of them attended instead. Eight of the coaches were there for men’s Gymnastics and ten for women. …
The course leader was Chris Evans of Great Britain who is an osteopath and Women’s coach. I was appointed MAG clinician.
Lilia Ortiz López from Mexico taught WAG sessions as well as a new Music & Rhythm module to both MAG & WAG.
Since my last visit the Federation built an excellent new facility just outside Aspire. Qatar is very serious about Gymnastics. Looking forward to hosting Artistic World Championships 2018.

The Asian Gymnastics Union co-sponsored this event. AGU added a sport science session to our regular curriculum.
This huge and heavy Janssen-Fritsen landing mat is super safe. Perhaps the best mat in the world right now.
