Moutier FIG Office (SUI) – Augsburg (GER), July 17, 2007 :
Siegfried Funk (GER), Member of the FIG Men’s Artistic
Gymnastics Technical Committee passed away on July 15, 2007,
after a long and painful disease.
Born on July 23, 1944, Siegfried Funk was very early involved in
Gymnastics and he took responsibilities both on regional and
national levels. He was elected in 2004 as a Member of the FIG,
as Secretary of the Men’s Technical Committee.
Courteous and honest, Siegfried Funk was highly esteemed by his
colleagues of the judges’ community and also by the gymnasts, for
his rigorous and fair behaviour while accomplishing his difficult
task.
The FIG President, Prof. Bruno Grandi, currently attending the Pan-American Games in Rio de
Janeiro (BRA), declared with emotion to the press: “Gymnastics lost a Friend. A man
recognised for his sense of justice, his competence and his exemplary behaviour. We will all
regret him!”
The entire Gymnastics community extends its deepest sympathy to the family as well as to the
deceased’s loved ones.
