His Majesty King Harald V will attend World Gym for Life Challenge 2017
We are proud to announce that the 3rd World Gym for Life Challenge becomes a royal Challenge. The Norwegian King, His Majesty King Harald, is celebrating his 80th Anniversary. As a sport enthusiast, The Norwegian Confederation of Sports (NIF) have given him three sports events as gift, one of them a gymnastic event.
The official name of the event is now: King Harald`s World Gym for Life Challenge.
This will be the first time in many years the Norwegian King attend a gymnastic-event.
The LOC-committee is very pleased with the fact thatNIF has picked out World Gym for Life Challenge 2017 as a gift to the king. It is a recognition that gymnastics is a major sport.
– King Harald V is very fond of all kind of sports, and we are sure he will appreciate meeting all of you at King Harald`s World Gym for Life Challenge in July, says The LOC-president Stig Nilssen.
In a press release from FIG, Gymnastics for All Committee President Margaret Sikkens Ahlquist (SWE) said:
“Royalty plays an important role in Norway. They represent their country in a very positive way. The acceptance of King Harald to have his name added to the World Gym for Life Challenge shows the importance of our event and it is a huge honour for all participants. I am also positive that this royal touch will turn more media interest to this unique event. And they will not be disappointed: The performances will be of very high quality.”
Who can do gymnastics without food?
In the package we have already included one meal (lunch or dinner) per day, but we have also advised everyone that they should order the second meal every day. The serving of the meals will take place in the center. This will make it really efficient for the participants, and the serving hours will make it possible to enjoy both meals even though you are having rehearsals or taking part in the contest.
The meals will be prepared in ready made portions so as to be easy to deliver, and you can either enjoy your meal somewhere in the Center, or you can take it back to your cabin. Hopefully you can enjoy the dinner outside in the beautiful summer weather!
The meals will be served according to the menu listed below. You will have to notify the LOC during your definitive registration whether you would like the ordinary menu or the vegetarian menu. You must also inform the LOC about any allergies. All this information has to be put into the Gymnaplana. All meals will be delivered according to the individual orders regarding allergies and vegetarian.
All meals will be served with ice water.
