ABOUT THE EUROPEAN TEAMGYM CHAMPIONSHIPS

The European Championships in TeamGym is one of the youngest European Gymnastics events and takes place every two years. The first European Gymnastics TeamGym – then called Euroteam- competition was held in Finland in 1996 and the first official TeamGym European Championships in Sweden in 2010, which also included junior teams.

TeamGym is a team competition being performed in three disciplines: Floor, Tumble and Trampet. All three disciplines require effective teamwork and excellent technique with difficult skills in acrobatic and gymnastic elements. TeamGym competitions are divided into three sections: Women, Men and Mixed teams. The event is attractive for spectators and media as well as sponsors because it’s both entertaining and exciting to watch. TeamGym competitions are recognized by their very good spirit and an exciting atmosphere.

A team may consist of 8 – 10 gymnasts, all of whom must compete on floor. On tumble and trampet, 6 gymnasts perform in each round.  In all disciplines, all the performing gymnasts are judged. A mixed team must consist of 50% male and 50% female gymnasts.
