Greetings from the Mayor

The natural return to its roots for the Arturo Gander Memorial is in Chiasso, its base. Because this extremely important event at international level takes its name from the unforgettable “Gymnastics master” who made this sport discipline be loved and to grow, reaching very high standards.

 

This competitive appointment, which this year will mark the 39th edition, has been able to bring to our Palapenz hall the biggest names in the artistic gym world; Olympic, World and European champions have been guests here and enchanted the audiences over the years.

 

The audiences have been one of the key elements of the success of this event; audiences from various age groups, including not only fans of this spectacular discipline, but also often simply spectators wishing to admire champions live, in Chiasso, where we await this international competition with enthusiasm – it is one of the most important in Europe.

 

The driving force behind this extraordinary sports event is its organising committee and the Federal Gymnastics Society in Chiasso, who the town authorities warmly thank. Their work enables one edition after another to renew the prestige of the Memorial Gander. And from one edition to another the echo of the event keeps interest for artistic gymnastics alive, attracting more and more very young fans.

 

So we await you with pleasure at Palapenz in Chiasso on 23rd November next, when we will be able to applaud the best names on the world artistic gymnastic scene.
