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.
Check out the menu here:

Da har Bergen avivklet en sporty GymX helg med mye energi og glede. Instruktører var fantastiske og utøverne strålte. Tusen takk til Kontaktpersonen Anne Berit Brekke for organisering av så fantastisk GymX kurs. Her ble det mye inspirasjon å ta med seg til egne timer.
Forbundsstyret i NGTF har vedtatt en endring i dokumentet «NGTFs utdypninger og presiseringer av bestemmelser om barneidrett».
Det er vedtatt en mulighet for å søke om dispensasjon i bestemmelse 4 som gjelder regioner fra det året barn fyller 9 år. Intensjonen bak dispensasjonsmuligheten er å sørge for kort reisevei for lag som med de nye regionene vil måtte reise lenger i egen region enn om de krysser regionsgrensen til tilstøtende region.
Det understrekes at reisevei vil være en viktig faktor ved søknad om dispensasjon.
Under er teksten vedtatt av forbundsstyret:
«Det kan søkes om dispensasjon til å delta på konkurranse i en annen tilstøtende region. Reiseavstand vil ligge til grunn for vurdering av dispensasjon. Avstanden til aktuell konkurranse kan ikke være lenger enn avstanden til det laget med samme aktivitet/gren som ligger lengst unna i egen region.
Lag som ønsker slik dispensasjon må søke forbundskontoret v/barne- og ungdomskonsulent senest 1 måned før konkurransestart.
Søknaden må inneholde:
– navn og alder på aktuelle utøvere
– medlemsnummer i Mysoft på aktuelle utøvere
– informasjon om reisevei / lengde til aktuell konkurranse
– informasjon om reisevei / lengde til nærmeste lag med samme aktivitet / gren i egen region
– kopi av invitasjonen til konkurransen»
Det oppdaterte dokumentet finnes her.
Husk også å ta en titt på sanksjonsreglementet som ble vedtatt i desember som ligger på samme side.

NEWSLETTER 4 – WORLD GYM FOR LIFE CHALLENGE 2017
It’s the third and last week of our Instagram Christmas Challenge, and our countdown towards Christmas, which in Norway is celebrated with great food and presents under the tree in the evening of December 24th.
We think it’s time for you to start learning some Norwegian words, so to make sure you both learn something useful for gymnastics, and for the time of year, we’ll start with “Hjul” and “Jul”! As we don’t pronounce the h, they both sound the same, which just makes it even better!
“Hjul” is the Norwegian word for cartwheel (and we also use this for any kind of wheels, but for now, lets stick to cartwheels). Then we have “Jul” which means Christmas! So for the last Instagram Christmas Challenge, we want your photos or videos with either hjul or jul, or maybe both! You choose!
From 16th until 22nd of December you should post your pictures of hjul or jul to be in the run for a set of the official World Gym for Life Challenge 2017 clothes AND a ticket to the gala!
Great news! It is super easy! All you need to do is this:
