It is over a year since the COVID-19 pandemic started. We understand that many Aerobic gymnasts are having restrictions for their training. We are hoping that all of you and your loved ones are safe and well during this difficult time. We are looking forward to the positive result of the situation with vaccinations which are now starting.
Under this circumstance, AER-TC has been holding TC-meetings by video, and we’d like to share some information.

We regret to inform the cancellation of the 7th Cantanhede FIG World Cup (POR) and the postpone of the 31st Suzuki FIG World Cup (Tokyo, JPN) but we thank the LOC for trying their best and to think the gymnasts’ and official’s safety as priority.

As we have stated in the Newsletter #2 (August 2017), we’d like to remind you that the New Elements should not be a variation of an existing element.
The AER-TC have evaluated the elements (although they were many variations), which have been submitted as we respect the effort of gymnasts and coaches for their work to submit elements. Please note that not all elements evaluated will be included in the next Code of Points.
