While we’re still building the team of athletes slated to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics, an exciting sports event is happening this month at the Muntinlupa Sports Complex in Muntinlupa City. Now in its 8^th year, the STY International Gymnastics Cup is happening from October 20-22, and here’s everything you need to know about it:

The 8th STY International Gymnastics Cup

Hosted by PGAA STY Gymnastics Center and back on the international scene after a hiatus during the pandemic, the STY Cup is one of the most anticipated gymnastics competitions of 2023. “It’s a pleasure to welcome back our friends from six different nations and showcase the talent within the Philippine gymnastics community. I can’t wait to see all the routines and also look forward to the gymnasts having fun,” said PGAA STY Founder and Head Coach Normita “Boots” Ty.

It’s the country’s largest international gymnastics meet

The 8^th STY International Gymnastics Cup has over 600 competing athletes aged 5 to 16 from the Philippines and nearby Asian countries such as Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and India, making it the largest international gymnastics meet in the country. Over 1,500 athletes, coaches, parents, and spectators are expected to attend the event.

“This is a great opportunity for our homegrown athletes to demonstrate their skill and perform at their best, as we foster an enriching sports experience and cultural exchange with our foreign neighbors. With the STY Cup, we also hope to inspire more Filipinos, especially young girls, to pursue sports and lead healthy lifestyles,” Coach Boots further shares.

The athletes will be competing in the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Level 1 to 6 categories.
