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. 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).
