INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF GYMNASTICS
Bruno Grandi thanked Bob Colarossi for his presentation. No vote is required, since the intent was
simply to inform the Council of the recent deliberations of the Marketing Commission and the
Executive Committee about the future or our sport.
16.5 Miscellaneous
The President returned to the question raised earlier about SYR. Because of the sensitive political
situation that this country has been facing for some time, it was difficult for the SYR Federation to
respect the deadline for the payment of annual fees. He pointed out that the new regulations have
been introduced to avoid any kind of bargaining during the elections. With respect to this case
caused by extraordinary circumstances, he proposed if the Council agrees to study carefully
this case and to make a decision with the Presidential Commission in private, by taking all factors
into account
Decision: The Council unanimously approved the President's proposal.
Youssef Altabbaa thanked President Grandi for his understanding.
The President officially thanked Steve Penny and his staff as well as the USA NOC for their
outstanding welcome and hospitality.
Before adjourning the meeting, the President urged every elected member to set aside personal
interests and to think especially about the merit of international gymnastics and how to best serve
it. We have many good ideas for our future and have the means to carry them out.
Bruno Grandi adjourned the meeting at 1:15 p.m., after having thanked the interpreters and the
FIG staff for their good work. He sincerely thanked the participants and wished everyone a safe
return.
In turn, Michel Léglise expressed his thanks and those of his colleagues on the Council to
President Grandi.
