We present to your attention an interview with Rogério Valério, President of the FIG Gymnastics for All Committee.
Could you please tell us about the importance of holding the FIG Gymnastics for All Colloquium in Baku?
- We organize such events every year. Representatives of federations from different countries around the world participate in them. We present the results of our work, talk about our plans, the goals we set for ourselves and what we aim to achieve. Here, we support one another. Each country, each participant can share their ideas.
What can you say about the participants' engagement in the colloquium?
- The level of engagement here is fantastic. People from different countries are very communicative. Delegation members interact with each other. It’s a wonderful colloquium taking place in Baku. We are very happy to be here.
What does the term "Gymnastics for All" mean to you?
- For me, it is a kind of gateway into the world of gymnastics. It is a type of gymnastics that anyone can practice throughout their entire life. At the same time, "Gymnastics for All" means a healthy lifestyle, a chance to stay fit, remain beautiful and make new friends.
What are your future goals? Are there plans to develop "Gymnastics for All" in as many countries as possible?
- Yes, that is possible. Our goal is to become more active, to collaborate with all federations. We want to grow and help gymnastics grow.
