LAUSANNE (SUI), FIG Office, July 13, 2011: Two groups from Argentina, CPO and Fuss, are participating for the first time at World Gymnaestrada this year, but seeing their performance one would think that they are veterans.
The groups got together only four months ago to bring to Lausanne a combination of contemporary dance, hip-hop, gymnastic and tango. The choreographers Mayra Machado and Veronica Diaz Velez put together a piece with colourful costumes and beautiful movements.
The team has just one male participant, Fagundo Giordano who was busy tangoing away with his teammates. Despite being the only man among so many girls, he affirms that it does not present a problem since they are a united group. However, he admits enjoying the attention of being different. His main objective in participating in the event is to learn from other more experienced delegations and go back to Argentina, where he will be able to help the sport growing.
World Gymnastrada is about exchange of cultures and diversity and always welcomes new nations that are developing the practice of gymnastics at all age groups.
