LAUSANNE (SUI), FIG Office, July 13, 2011: The Canadian team Alberta Remix brought to this year's World Gymnaestrada the evolution of music. To cater to the large range of participants, the coaches and choreographers agreed on a theme that would leave the generation conflict on the floor. The group has members from 10 to 72 years old.
Ironically, their theme played a trick on them and the sound desk had issues to play their music. The group's coaches scrambled around to provide another copy of the CD and even a version direct from an iPod.
The public supported the team by cheering and clapping while the athletes passively waited in position. When the music finally started the audience was already on fire, which resulted on an explosive presentation from the group. All generations rocked the floor.
The oldest member of the team Marje Cherer said she was pumped. She celebrated a job well done backstage with her daughter Lindsay Oliver who is one of the team's coaches and a 5-timer participant of World Gymnaestrada.
The presentation proved that the 14th World Gymnaestrada is for everyone and that there is no conflict of generations.
