Participating in the event

Each participant needs a participant card and a valid license.

No worries: the registration period remains open until April 10, and the participant pass prices have been decided to remain the same. This shared gathering of the entire gymnastics community is not something to be missed

Meals

Participants who have purchased a participant pass can pre-order meals for the event period. The ordered meals are provided by Compass Group Finland and are enjoyed on the university campus or nearby, close to the event area
