Junior Friendship Tournament (Druzhba)

This competition began in 1965 and was initially called "Olympic Hopes".  The name was changed to Druzhba ("Friendship") in 1970.  Open to junior gymnasts (girls 16 and under, boys 18 and under) from East Bloc countries only, many Olympic and World champions got their start at this high-level competition.  When the Iron Curtain fell, this meet ended.
