Welcome!

Welcome to the Freiburg International Gymnastics Congress!

Welcoming speech by the Director of the Institute for Sport and Sports Science

Prof.in Jana Strahler

 

Dear gymasts, dear trainers, dear colleagues,


the Institute of Sports and Sports Science is very happy to arrange the Freiburg International Gymnastics Congress again in this year. We are very proud to welcome all trainers, instructors and gymnasts for the 17th time at our location.

We have already welcomed participants from a total of 27 countries, which displays the good reputation and awareness of the gymnastics competence of our former and current employees in Freiburg.
With the initiators of this event, the former head of the equipment testing laboratory of the International Gymnastics Association Ludwig Schweizer and Dr. Flavio Bessi as specialist head of gymnastics, the IfSS has a highly motivated and competent team that ensures the international reputation of the institute in the field of gymnastics.

The Institute of Sport and Sports Science will continue to do its best to ensure that Freiburg maintains and further develops its good reputation in gymnastics both nationally and internationally.

I wish this year's participants many educational hours and a lot of fun in the workshops and lectures offered, so that they can go home with many new ideas.
I wish the organisers and speakers every success, of which I am already convinced.


Prof.in Jana Strahler


 

Greeting from the Sports Director of the German Gymnastics Federation

Thomas Gutekunst

 

Dear trainers, dear ladies and gentlemen,

in the name of the German Gymnastics Federation, I would like to welcome you to the 17th Freiburg International Gymnastics Congress.

We are very pleased to have this great cooperation with the Gymnastics Federation of Baden and the University of Freiburg as long-term and reliable partners for the further education of trainers in gymnastics.

In the current and previous Olympic cycle, the German Gymnastics Federation can look back on a successful international highlight with medals and top performances. The current period is marked by preparations for the Olympic Games in 2024, and we are already looking forward to the next cycle in our planning. Much is changing in the German competitive sports system, which brings both great challenges and also opportunities. Despite all the happenings and changes, however, it remains that well-trained and committed coaches will continue to be a key for remaining internationally competitive. You are the key to success.

Therefore, I wish you exciting and insightful lectures that will help you in the further development of your athletes.

Sincerely,

Thomas Gutekunst

 

Greeting from the Vice President Education of the Gymnastics Federation of Baden

Thomas Stampfer, Vizepräsident Bildung des BTB

 

Dear gymnasts, dear guests,

In recent years, the Freiburg International Gymnastics Congress have become one of the most important events in the advanced training landscape of the Baden and the German Gymnastics Federation.

This is first and foremost due to the fact that those who are responsible at the university Freiburg in cooperation with the Gymnastics Federation of Baden have always understood how to offer highly interesting topics for the sport of apparatus gymnastics and to attract highly qualified, internationally recognised speakers to Freiburg. The awareness that successful gymnastics requires very well-trained, qualified trainers and instructors is the most convincingly point for the organisers to carry out the highly appreciated Gymnastic congress in Freiburg on a high level.

My special thanks go to the Institute for Sport and Sports Science at the University of Freiburg, with Dr. Flavio Bessi at the top, for the overall management of this event. I should not forget all students, that will make a significant contribution to the success of this Congress.

I wish all participants two interesting and instructive days in Freiburg. The implementation of the contents of these Freiburg International Gymnastics Congress in the daily training work, in the clubs, support groups and bases surely brings the apparatus gymnastics in Baden, but also in Germany a good way further forward. I wish you all good luck!

Yours,

Thomas Stampfer
