It is held every four years much like the Olympics. But the focus of this event is not on winning medals.[1] The Gymnaestrada is about Group Performances \u2013 some with hundreds or even thousands of participants. Adults and children of every age and description perform. Countries from around the world come together to showcase their talent and the culture of their various countries. The choreography is designed both to challenge the participants and to delight audiences. Routines are performed at various venues within the host country. Large group routines are known as “mass routines” which involve hundreds of gymnasts. The mass routines are often performed in large stadiums where spectators can take in routines performed by gymnasts from all over the world.The World Gymnaestrada is the successor to the two Lingiads that were held in Stockholm in 1939 (100 years after Pehr Henrik Ling’s death) and 1949.The name Gymnaestrada is formed from the words gymnastik (international name for all sports relating to gymnastics), estrada (stage) and strada (street). It is believed to have been invented by J H Sommer, chairman of the Royal Dutch Gymnastics Federation and Mrs J. v.d.Most-Leyerweert, member of the board of DGF. They submitted their request for an international meet at the 1951 FIG conference.[2]Zurcaroh from season 13 of America’s Got Talent represented Austria at WG in Helsinki.Table of ContentsHost cities[edit]World Gymnaestrada 2007[edit]World Gymnaestrada 2011[edit]The World Gymnaestrada Lausanne 2011 in brief[11][edit]World Gymnaestrada 2015[edit]The World Gymnaestrada Helsinki 2015 in brief[edit]World Gymnaestrada 2019[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Host cities[edit]EditionDateCityCountryParticipatingfederations[3]Gymnasts[3]I1953Rotterdam\u00a0Netherlands145,000II1957Zagreb\u00a0Yugoslavia166,000III26\u201330 July 1961Stuttgart\u00a0West Germany1610,000IV20\u201324 July 1965Vienna\u00a0Austria2815,600V2\u20136 July 1969Basle\u00a0Switzerland299,600VI1\u20135 July 1975Berlin\u00a0West Germany2310,500VII13\u201317 July 1982Zurich\u00a0Switzerland2314,200VIII7\u201311 July 1987Herning\u00a0Denmark2517,300IX15\u201320 July 1991Amsterdam\u00a0Netherlands2819,500X9\u201315 July 1995Berlin\u00a0Germany3419,300XI2\u201310 July 1999G\u00f6teborg\u00a0Sweden3923,500XII20\u201326 July 2003Lisbon\u00a0Portugal5725,000XIII8\u201314 July 2007Dornbirn\u00a0Austria56[4]21,000XIV10\u201316 July 2011Lausanne\u00a0Switzerland55[5]19,100XV12\u201318 July 2015[6]Helsinki\u00a0Finland5521,000XVI7\u201313 July 2019Dornbirn\u00a0Austria66[7]18,000XVII30 July-5 Aug 2023[8]Amsterdam\u00a0NetherlandsTBATBA  Impression of one of the outdoor stages at the 2007 Gymnaestrada event in Vorarlberg (Austria)World Gymnaestrada 2007[edit]The 13th World Gymnaestrada was held in Dornbirn in Vorarlberg (Austria) from 8 to 14 July.
