STRENFLEX history

1 st World Championship Rimini 15.06.02 Opening celebration A great round of praise goes to all those who have contributed to the implementation of this successful world premiere of the first STREN FLEX Fitness Sport World Champion ship. These include not just the fan tastic athletic participants but also the excellent judges and their fast work. Furthermore, the deputy chief judge Claudia Faes Aventaggio from Swit zerland, Donna Danton from the United States, Andrea Staneker from Germany, Elena Levy from Russia and Isabelle Baumann from Switzerland deserve a special commendation. Credit is due to the Technical Tribu nal, consisting of the two men on the judges’ team, Dario Karamatic from

Croatia and Boris Reinhardt from Ger many, for the fact that the competition was conducted in a timeframe in agree ment with regulations and that the evalu ation proceeded quickly and correctly. Furthermore, the technical assistants who supported both competitors and

judges deserve great praise for their strong initiative. These included Nata sha Danton (United States), Sandra Leuener (Switzerland), Katja Wagner (Russia), Mario Laina (Italy) and Pierre Gattiker (Switzerland). This World Championship spectacle was well organized: from the athletes entering with their national flags, the national anthems and the beautiful win ners’ medals, which were presented to the winners on a purple cushion, to the flower bouquets for the five finalists. This was a World Championship that all participants won’t forget for quite some time. Unfortunately, the event was not organized in an optimal fashion by the trade fair organizer, and the STREN FLEX sports organization has drawn the obvious conclusions for future champi onships.
