Rotterdam 2019: World heroes inspire the next generation For the gymnasts: the best facilities to qualify for Tokyo 2020 High standard training-, warming up and competition locations all within the same venue under one roof. Short travel times and punctual transportation. A wide variety of hotels, close to the venue. Two airports within one hour driving distance. Financial guarantees from government, federation and city. State of the art materials from our trusted partner ‘Janssen-Fritsen’
For the spectators: culture & sports presentation An inspirational host city: Rotterdam. It’s not only a sportminded city. It’s also a very welcoming and cultural city. Together with the Scapino Ballet, The Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and Cirque du Soleil we will bring the link between culture & gymnastics to a next level. Combine sports, culture and sports presentation.
For the world: bring gymnastics magic to the world Our host broadcaster NOS always brings innovative elements to make gymnastics even more attractive But, we have more…..
Market the global legacy of gymnastics To be sporty all your live, you need a good start. So we are building an unique programme. Sport and exercise is essential for everyone, especially for children. At a young age, they create the foundation for a sustainable and healthy lifestyle. We want a good start for everyone. That’s why we introduced an ‘exercise certificate’ for children, in collaboration with Miffy. Miffy tells our story in a way children can understand and relate to it. She makes gymnastics look good, funny and safe and encourages children to exercise responsibly. Miffy helps us reaching all these children, because she appeals to young children all over the world and gives them a warm and pleasant feeling of security. Miffy makes exercise attractive. Because we think gymnastics is for all. The World Gymnastics Championships are a global promotion of our sport. An amazing platform for our greater purpose. Together with Miffy, we want to make gymnastics more approachable and fun for children around the world. Let them express themselves through sports, dance or culture. We want to make this closer for everybody. Through Miffy and the World Gymnastics Championships we will inspire a new generation, all over the world. A generation without overweight and lack of exercise, but with fit and confident people.
