Tony Retrosi coaching Switzerland

An interview.

Having spent some time in Italy as a consultant with the Italian gymnastics federation, Tony was offered an interim role coaching the Swiss national WAG team following the dismissal of the previous coaching staff in September 2021.

He stepped in to coach Switzerland’s best gymnasts last October, alongside 1992 Olympian Wendy Bruce Martin, who has since accepted a permanent role as the team’s head coach …

“Our main focus is preparing a team for Europeans and Worlds.  To share information throughout the RLZs (Swiss regional performance centres) on technique, on philosophy and what we need in gymnasts coming up here.  …

While helping to rebuild the culture of the team, Tony has been posting a lot of photos and videos to Instagram.

MAG Rings raised 10cm

The MAG Rings will be raised by 10cm, effective 01 January 2022.

The new height will be 290cm (±0.5 cm).

An additional supplementary mat of 2m x 4m x 10cm will be required in addition to the 2017-2021 matting requirements for the apparatus.

This supplementary mat may only be removed by making an official request (for gymnast height), as the Rings cannot be raised further.
