Linn Finstad, Nedre Glomma turn og Pietro Giachino, Njård Turnforening ble Norgesmestere og kongepokalvinnere 2016.
Njård TF vant lagkonkurransen for menn og Holmen TT vant lagkonkurransen i kvinneklassen.
Som tidligere informert vil turn menn fra 2017 slå sammen Twentyfour Cup og FIG konkurranser for junior/senior i samme arrangement.
Det betyr at det ikke vil være felles konkurranser med turn kvinner i disse tre konkurransene!
I tillegg vil innholdet for FIG junior bli endret med blant annet obligatoriske øvelser (sammen med selvvalgt). Dette er en ønsket utvikling hvor vi benytter FIG sitt FIG Age Group Program.
Alle detaljer finner dere i vårt skriv «Turn menn – nytt konkurransesystem nasjonale konkurranser fom 2017» under nasjonale reglement.
Oppsummert gjelder følgende fra 2017:
- FIG Age Group Competition Program med obligatoriske øvelser innføres for Junior
- (13)14-17 år. Som tidligere kan gutter 13 år søke om deltagelse i Juniorklasse.
- Vi slår sammen Twentyfour-Cup og de nasjonale FIG konkurransene. Det betyr at vi reduserer de nasjonale (NGTF) konkurransene per år fra seks til tre. Alle gutter samles, inkludert LUM (11-12 år) der det er ønskelig av arrangør som tidligere.
- Separate MAG (gutter) og WAG (jenter) arrangement for disse konkurransene.
- LUM beholdes uendret.
- Kl I, II og III beholdes uendret.
- Senior beholdes uendret.
- Junior (13)14-17 år kjører obligatorisk øvelse fra FIG Age Group Program (HP4) i tillegg til FIG Junior selvvalgt.
NB! Vi minner også om at nytt Code Of Points (reglementet som brukes under FIG konkurransene og som revideres etter hvert OL) nå er tilgjengelig i engelsk versjon hos FIG. Den «norske» versjonen for gutter og juniorer vil komme i 2017.
NB! Minner også om at nasjonalt krets- og forbundsdommerkurs blir arrangert i Oslo-området helgen 20. – 22. januar 2017, invitasjon kommer!

The county of Vestfold is situated in the south of Norway. Vestfold is the smallest and one of the most densely populated counties in Norway.
The largest towns Larvik, Tønsberg, Sandefjord and Horten are all located along the coast.
Vestfold is easily reached by air, ferry and train. Flights to Oslo (Torp) take you to our regional Airport, just 10 kilometres outside Sandefjord.
Color Line and Fjord Line run ferry lines between Hirtshals (DK) and Larvik as well as Strømstad (SE) and Sandefjord. There is also ferry between Horten and Moss, run by Bastø-Fosen.
Places to visit in Vestfold
Vestfold is a small county bordering Buskerud and Telemark. Vestfold is located west of Oslofjord, as the name indicates.
Vestfold coastline may not be long, but it has an extensive cultural history. Vestfold has played a central role in Norwegian history as a centre for whaling, shipbuilding and marine activities.
You can experience this at close quarters. The 3 main towns in Vestfold; Larvik, Sandefjord and Tønsberg are all pretty close to each other and offer a varied selection of shopping, activities, attractions and coastal experiences.
Vestfold was a centre of power in the Scandinavian Viking Age. A number of the world’s most important archaeological finds from the Viking Age were discovered in Vestfold.
This includes monumental royal burial mounds in Borre (Horten), the Oseberg ship burial mound and Slottsfjellet (Castle Hill) in Tønsberg and the Gokstadhaugen burial mound in Sandefjord.
Vestfold is the county in Norway boasting the most traces of our proud Viking heritage. The region between Mølen in the south and Borre in the north has many places worth visiting.
Over a distance of about 60 kilometres (40 miles) you will discover large, significant burial mounds, remains of Norway’s first town and where the most important finds from the Viking Age were made. Vestfold even has its own Viking ships, both original and replicas.

The Norwegian Gymnastics Federation is really looking forward to organize, and make this the best, World Gym for Life Challenge.
President of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC), Stig Nilssen, hope to see you in Norway next year!
Here you will perform, meet new friends, eat, drink, sleep, relax and hang out.
Join us here on the seaside of the outer part of the Oslofjord Convention Center (Oslofjord) where you and the rest of the participants will perform, live and sleep for some memorable summer days in 2017.
Oslofjord is the best place to enjoy the days and evenings during the event. Here you have the opportunity to spend time with your gymnastic friends and a bonfire by the beach is a perfect place to make new relations and long life friendships.
There will also be possible to do gymnastics, performances, dancing or just having fun outside on the big green lawn.
Oslofjord is the largest and most modern convention center in Northern Europe.
Oslofjord’s location by the fjord and its on-site accommodation makes this venue a unique ideal arena for the World Gym for Life Challenge in 2017.
The large conference hall in the Oslofjord Convention Center complex will be the main arena for the contest.
A first look inside the Oslofjord conference hall will take your breath away. The hall spreads across 4.800 square meters and provides seating for 5.000 spectators.
