When the curtain falls on the 15th World Gymnaestrada at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium on Saturday, the Finnish capital and its inhabitants will bid farewell to their 17,000 international guests who have filled the city’s streets and event venues with their energy, joy and enthusiasm during the past week. …
