Aerobic Gymnastics

LAUSANNE (SUI), FIG Office, October 26, 2009: The FIG recently gave its stamp of approval for a brand new World Series stage in Aerobic Gymnastics, set for 2010. The event will be held in Angra do Heroísmo, a Portuguese seaside town nestled on the island of Terceira in the region of the Azores, April 30 – May 2, 2010.

This leg of the World Series is the second after the season’s opening event in Japan and brings together Europe’s elite in this discipline, with France and Romania at the forefront. The programme features both senior and international Age Group competitions.

This is the 4th FIG world cup or series event ever organised in Portugal. It is a decision that clearly demonstrates the political zeal and sport-oriented mindset embraced by the national federation and its President Manuel Boa de Jesus. 2010 will see Artistic Gymnastics in Porto, Rhythmic in Portimao, Trampoline in Loulé and now Aerobic in Angra do Heroísmo.
