The World Gymnaestrada Lausanne 2011, a dream realized!
For one week, the City of Lausanne pulsated to the rhythm of Gymnastics for All, thanks to the gymnasts who came from all over the world to share their passion.
The whole population of Lausanne and surrounding areas discovered a universe rich in colour and emotion, made up of sharing, meeting and above all, magic. Through this event, Lausanne became the theatre for 19,000 people, who took part in performances right across town during each day, and thrilling the spectators. Thank you for coming, for your commitment and your enthusiasm!
From the Pontaise Olympic Stadium, to the Malley Sports Centre, taking in Beaulieu Lausanne, the Bellerive Village and the various city stages, colour spread through the streets, shops, restaurants and buses in the Lausanne area. The made up faces with their beaming smiles encouraged interaction and warmth all over the city!
All this was also thanks to YOU! You did your bit close by or at a distance, making sure that this huge boat docked safely in the harbour on 10 July at 16.00 precisely. You enabled it to remain safely anchored at the quayside for the whole week, and then you let it sail away with the participants, once the event came to an end. The World Gymnaestrada Lausanne 2011 was not the story of one or two people, but of thousands who were ready to get behind it, unstintingly, right through to the final objective, ensuring that the event was memorable. And you can be proud of your achievement, because it certainly was!
We should like to say to you a big “THANK YOU!” Thank you for being there and for making the event so beautiful!
The Organizing Committee World Gymnaestrada Lausanne 2011 would also like to wish those responsible for Helsinki 2015 all the courage needed to set up the next edition of this extraordinary event, and we hope they will also enjoy all the magic it will generate!
