World Gymnaestrada

FIG governs eight sports, and Gymnastics for All is one of them. Both a discipline and concept, Gymnastics for All is the foundation for all Gymnastics disciplines, physical movement and sporting activities, and offers a world of movement opportunities suitable for all genders, age groups, abilities, and cultural backgrounds. The World Gymnaestrada is one of the major activities, where it is the largest non-competitive gymnastics event held every 4 years.
