EDITORIAL 
 
 
Dear friends, 
 
Last year we moved to open editorial software that is hosted by Ljubljana University. We are still 
adapting to this new address and the new way of work. We apologise for any inconvenience that 
this move has created and hope to get everything running smoothly as soon as possible. 
 
Please note that our address is 
 
https://journals.uni-lj.si/sgj 
 
We are still working as volunteers and splitting our duties with our younger coworkers. You may 
have noticed that the administrator has become very strict when articles are not prepared 
according to the guidelines. To avoid any prolonged delays in getting your article approved, please 
read the guidelines carefully and make sure to follow them. We are still experiencing problems 
with our reviewers as, unfortunately, many of them have no time to review our submissions. I 
would like to appeal to you to please help us out. As a specialized journal, we have access to only 
a limited number of researchers. Let's all make an effort to be a part of the prominent scientific 
community on the Web of Science and SCOPUS! 
 
This issue covers a diverse range of content, the authors are coming from Slovakia, Spain, 
Turkiye, Slovenia, Japan, Greece, Iran, Singapure, Brazil, USA and Finland. For 10 articles are 
included researchers from 11 countries.  
 
Anton Gajdoš prepared his 28th short historical note introducing the first World Championship in 
1903 in Antwerpen. 
 
At the end of the issue are three letters to editor. The first one from Hardy Fink who writes about 
new rules on World Championship participations and their impact on future attendances. The 
second one is a report from Freiburg Congress from Flavio Bessi and the last one is invitation to 
participate in research from Johanna Weber.  
 
Just to remind you, if you cite the journal, its abbreviation in the Web of Knowledge is SCI GYMN 
J.  
 
I wish you enjoyable reading and many new ideas for research projects and articles. 
  
  
Ivan Čuk
