Ich habe noch etwas Hintergrundinfo recherchiert, vor allem, um etwas um die im Wikipedia-Artikel erwähnte Umbenennung vorn
sports acrobatics in das heute gültige
acrobatic gymnastics zu klären.
Dies hat mit der Verbandsgeschichte zu tun und damit, dass man versucht, die Aufnahme der Disziplin in die Olympiade zu erreichen:
Auf der Seite des Dachverbands FIG (Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique)
findet man unter dem Pfad Disciplines --> Acrobatic --> About Acrobatic Gymnastics --> It all started....
Folgendes:
…..on March 24, 1996, in Riesa (GER), when the IFSA (International Federation of Sports Acrobatics) convened an extraordinary assembly. A pivotal question on the order of the day: is the IFSA ready to merge with the FIG? Nineteen national federations were present – nineteen votes in addition to that of the President. Fifteen were in favour, five opposed. In the hopes of becoming an Olympic sport, the sport moved into a new realm.
...
The dissolving of IFSA and subsequent merger agreement was on the order of the day at its VII Congress in Minsk (BLR) on October 27, 1998, parallel to the 15th World Championships.
...
At the FIG head office in Moutier (SUI), on April 8, 1999, FIG President Prof. Bruno Grandi and Stoil Sotirov signed a document that would seal the future of Sports Acrobatics to that of the FIG.
...
In 2004, the discipline was renamed to Acrobatic Gymnastics.
