Hannes MASCHKAN, Turnsport Austria

The Austrian Gymnastics Federation “Turnsport Austria” has a high-profile new addition to its ranks:
As an Austrian Sports Federation – which brings together 450 clubs and more than 90,000 members, making it one of the country’s top six federations – announced today, it has found the right person in its search for a new Secretary General:
<< Hannes Maschkan, an economist and qualified sports manager from Bad Hofgastein, who has served the Austrian Olympic Committee for a good 17 years, emerged victorious from a field of 22 applicants from Austria and abroad ...

"All the best and, ... thank you, Robert!"

→ ... and, from 1 October 2026 on,
Hannes MASCHKAN will succeed the long-serving Secretary General Robert LABNER, whose many years of trustworthy and professional press and media work were regarded as exemplary even internationally, and thanks to whom the European Gymnastics Service "GYMmedia INTERNATIONAL" always had an outstanding and reputable partner in Robert Labner.
