GYMNASTICS SEMINAR 2010

The Malaysia Gymnastics Fedration with the cooperatipn of the National Sports Council Malaysia held its first Seminar, Entitled - Past, Present and Future of Gymnastics in Malaysia on the 24 - 25 October at the Auditorium 1, National Sports Council Malaysia.
The invited speaker was Mr Gao Jian, Consultant from the Federation International Gymnastics.

The steps taken by the MGF and the NSC is timely looking at the standard of Gymnastics, especially Artistic Gymnastics which is in a state of vaccum. We may have to wait for another 10 years or 10,000 hours of training and deliberate practice to develope a High Performance athlete before we can be at the International Arena again.

The existing system needs to change to evolve.

" The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

“Developing Olympic Champions is like training doctors, it’s expensive, takes time and needs real expertise.”

I hope all those attending the Seminar will come up with a concrete solution to help Malaysia regain her pride in this sport.
