10th Austrian International Aerobic Gymnastics Championships
Kufstein (AUT), October 29 – 31, 2009

LAUSANNE (SUI), FIG Office, November 2, 2009: The Austrian Aerobic Open, an annual international tournament, celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. From October 29-31 a total of 200 gymnasts from nine different countries participated in the elite and junior categories of this year’s meet in Kufstein.

Russia’s Irina Rubtsova dominated the Women’s Individual elite and took home the Gold (18.050). She edged out Tereza Sramlova (CZE) and Petra Tomkova (SVK).
“I am very happy to have won the Austrian Open for the second time since 2006. I gave a nearly flawless routine today,” the 21 year old winner stated after the competition.

With Austria’s Aerobic star and 2008 title holder Lubi Gazov recently resigned from competitive sport, the host country failed to make it to the Finals this time around.

Over one thousand spectators were there to watch the competition unfold, and it was a great opportunity for the contenders to prepare for the European Championships, scheduled for November 17-21 in Liberec (CZE). FIG Technical Delegate Svetlana Lukina (RUS) complimented the Austrian Gymnastics Federation on flawless organisation of the meet. Authorities are now looking into the possibility of upgrading the Austrian Open to a FIG World Cup event.
