Feeling at home in Basel’s entertainment and cultural scene for over 20 years, I am now looking forward immensely to the first major international sports event that I have been privileged to help organise! For me, “art” and “gymnastics” are simply inseparable.

Competition & Infrastructure

Emanuel Senn

The artistic gymnastics scene is something I am greatly familiar with: as a former active artistic gymnast in the various Swiss cadres and as co-organizer of national and international competitions it is really second nature to me. I am looking forward to this new challenge of a major international event in my hometown!
