Dates for Koper 2026 Confirmed
August 21, 2025Only six weeks remain until Slovenia’s premier gymnastics spectacle! Once again, we will gather in the nation’s largest coastal city to witness world-class performances by elite gymnasts. To mark the occasion, we are proud to reveal the official competition poster, featuring Slovenian gymnast Anže Hribar.
Following tradition at the end of May, Koper will transform into a gymnastics hub as it hosts the jubilee 20th edition of the ART World Challenge Cup from May 28 to 31, 2026. This year’s visual identity highlights the rising star Anže Hribar, who will compete in Koper on his signature apparatus – the floor exercise.
Hribar has already made a significant mark on the international stage. In his first two senior European Championships, he secured impressive 15th and 16th place finishes on floor. Last year, he thrilled the home crowd at the 19th World Cup in Koper with a remarkable performance that earned him a silver medal.
He has carried that momentum into the current season, consistently fighting for top honors. He reached the finals at the season opener in Cottbus, narrowly missing the podium, and followed up with top-eight finishes on floor at the recent World Cups in Antalya and Osijek. His versatility is also on display this year, having reached two finals on vault as well.
We are eagerly anticipating his performances live at Arena Bonifika!
