Erik Flensted-Jensen (1908-1993) was the founder and leader of the Danish Gym Team. From 1939 to 1986, he toured the world showing Danish Elite Gymnastics to more than 2 million people in many countries around the globe. He was an ambassador for gymnastics and Danish culture everywhere he went with his teams.[1][2] He wrote four books describing his travels with gymnastic teams. The books are all in the Danish language: "Med Niels Bukh Jorden Rundt" (1932), "40.000 km Under Dannebrog" (1945), "Med Dansk Ungdom I Amerikas Brogede Verden" (1952), "Mit Liv Og Mine Rejser" (1983).
