tension, nobody really knew what to expect…

Host:
Gymnastics Federation of Berlin |

25
candidats from 11 European countries had travelled to Berlin,
still active and former elite athletes, acrobats, gymnasts,
artists, stuntmen…

Fabrice
Becker and Solange Grimard as.. 
…professional
talent scouts took care that no anxiety arose from the beginning
on. Loose but precise explanations made clear to everybody what to
expect, translated by Lisa Worthmann (right, GYMmedia)
|
Usually
the candidates come from an artistic or sports background.
Acrobatics, circus arts, singing, dancing, music and theatre are
some of the artistic disciplines which are interesting for us.
|
|
Also
many elite athletes who have finished their careers in
gymnastics, synchronised swimming, high diving, acrobatic kinds
of sports, trampolining, floor acrobatics are interested in
starting a new career…

Zoltan
Supola (- has participated in the Olympic high bar
final in Sydney as well as in the Worldcup final in
Glasgow):
“After
20 years in artistic gymnastics, 11 of them among the best
gymnasts in the World, I am now looking for a new
challenge! If possible together with my wife Noemi… that
would be it!
Starting
for Hungary in gymnastics is not that important to me
anymore. Now I want to make new experiences, to meet new
people…!
If
it won’t work out well here – well, the World
championships in Ghent 2001 are of course also not yet
cancelled”.

E.g.
in Berlin “half of” the Hungarian national team in men’s
artistic gymnastics took part in the casting, lead by Zoltan
Zupola (middle), the former vice World champion on high bar
(1994), the long-year participant in Olympic Games and
World championships Miklos Pancel (right) and Miklos
Hajdu (left), who just until now has been the coach of the
Canadian Kyle Shewfelt, who has reached the 2nd place
on floor in the Worldcup final in Glasgow (December 2000).
