time to renew your GYMNASTICS license

Bottle of what!?

Did you know that FIG gymnasts have to renew their FIG licenses every 2 years?


As of 1.1.2009, all gymnasts (Age Group, juniors and seniors) must present a valid FIG License in order to be eligible to participate in an international competition. “Gymnastics for All” events are exempted from this rule. …

Get the details on this FIG communique.

Warren questions the need for this?

If that tiny Chinese gymnast has an FIG license already, why does she need to renew?

It does give FIG a new mug shot photo every 2 years. And on that application is a confirmation that the athlete has reviewed the FIG Anti-Doping Rules.

final day CAN National Championships
