Masser af medaljedrømme ved de Nordiske Mesterskaber i TeamGym - GymDanmark

Masser af medaljedrømme ved de Nordiske Mesterskaber i TeamGym

Der er lagt op til et gigantisk nordisk opgør, når nogle af Europas allerbedste TeamGym gymnaster tørner sammen til NM i Lund, bare et år efter EM i Slovenien. Danmark stille i stærkeste opstilling med de to bedste hold inden for mix, dame og herrer – alle kvalificeret ved DM i foråret. Danmark har tradition for at være i den absolutte top i TeamGym og målet ved NM senior at opretholde den status. 

“Vi har store drømme og ikke mindst ambition om at tage medaljer ved NM. Vi har bare nogle mega seje gymnaster, som er klar til at vise, hvad de kan. Der vil komme nogle vilde oplevelser ved dette NM og jeg glæder mig som et lille barn til at konkurrencen skydes igang på lørdag. Det bliver med garanti en underholdende oplevelse for publikum i arenaen og ikke mindst for alle seerne herhjemme”, fortæller en glad formand for Udvalget for TeamGym Frank Veje Jakobsen. 

Ved sidste NM på Island i 2015 blev det til ikke mindre end to guldmedaljer i henholdsvis Herrer (Gjellerup Sdr.) og Mix (Gadstrup TeamGym) og en bronzemedalje i Herrer (TeamGym Aarhus). Så kursen er sat mod mere metal og ved testkonkurrencen i sidste weekend blev der sat tyk streg under at de danske hold er mere end klar til den nordiske kamp om medaljer og æren.

DE DANSKE HOLD
Danmark stiller med seks hold, to hold i hver kategori (mix, dame og herre). Læs meget mere om de seks hold herunder: 

MIX – Ollerup GF 

Nice to know: The team consists of gymnast from 5 different nordic countries, all former or present students from Gymnastikhøjskolen in Ollerup.
The youngest gymnast is 19, the oldest 25. Both of the tumbling coaches have been on the team themselves. Last in 2013

 

MIX – Gjellerup Sdr. S. G. Mix 

 Nice to know: Gjellerup Sdr. Mix team is a new team that started last year. They did some good competitions and in the qualification for Winners’ Final they came in number three. After a very good competition in Winners’ Final they won silver. So now we  are here for Nordics and hope to have a good time in Lund, Sweden.

The team is training together with the men’s team and there is always a lot of energy in the gym. Most of the gymnasts are studying and then they do TeamGym in Gjellerup in their sparetime.  See you all in Sweden 

 

DAME – Gladsaxe

Nice to know: The gymnasts age from 18 to 28 years and everyone plays an important role and shows a strong commitment to TeamGym. All of the gymnasts are engaged in the process of creating their floor routine. Trying new things, having fun, playing games and training hard are all important factors for the gymnasts and coaches from Gladsaxe.

GIF is one of the largest gymnastics associations in Denmark and is situated close to the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen. 
GIF Senior Women has been among the best gymnastics teams in Denmark for several years and they became Danish champions in 2016 and 2017.

 

DAME – Sæby – Viborg

Nice to know: A young but promising project to get more focus on the senior enviroment in the middle and northern jutland. They have only been competing for two years, but have won silver medal twice. 

The team has nine gymnasts and one coach that are or have been a part of the Danish national team. First time ever competing at Nordic Teamgym championships.

 

HERRER – Gjellerup Sdr. S. G. Men

Nice to know: From 2013 and five years in a row Gjellerup won the Danish Championsship and two years ago the team won Nordics on Iceland.

The team is the biggest team in Denmark for senior men. We have 90 men doin TeamGym and performance gymnastic in Gjellerup. A lot of the gymnasts are also joining the National TeamGym Team.

 

HERRER – TeamGym Aarhus

Nice to know: This is the second time Teamgym Aarhus participates in the Nordic Championship. Last time we placed 3rd. This time we hope that we can take a step closer to the gold. The team is very young, so this time we will not have any dads on the team. Hopefully that will be to our advantage.

Team motto: “Our strong side is the we do not have any weaknesses, but our weakness is that we do not have any strong sides.”
