Hi there, I am Bart, your photographer who is part of the IRV Media team this week at the Wheel Gymnastics World Championships. I have photographed all World Championships since 2011 and most Team World Cups also, documenting many highlights and triumphs along the way.
A great welcome to all who are coming to Almere, I am looking forward to seeing you here in this magnificent location and I will be doing my best to put all participants fully “in the picture” after such a long period of intensive training and preparation. My photos will be published during the week on the various IRV media channels, via my own social media and also at a later moment on my own website www.rhonrad.eu.
Let’s make this a great week, have fun, renew friendships and get to know new people, and make the wheel community an even stronger one.
Andreas Brauner - BTVRhoenrad (livestream)
Rhönrad has always been an important part of my family. This sport has been with us since the 3rd generation. Starting with my mother's uncle and aunt, who brought her and her brothers to the gymwheel. I started at the age of five and was an active gymnast until I was 18, but remained in the sport as a coach. In 2006, I became public relations manager for the Bavarian Gymnastics Federation. In 2011, I started the now well-known YouTube channel BTVRhoenrad. I have also been working on a documentary about our wonderful sport for a few years now and hope that this film will be finished by 2025.
