Who will be the next Queen or the next King of Handstand?

This year, the Swiss Gymnastics Federation (STV) has once again embarked on an exciting search for the best handstand talents in Switzerland. As part of the Swiss Cup Zürich, the finalists can compete for the coveted title in the Hallenstadion Zürich. 

Over the past few months, the STV has determined the strongest athletes in the handstand at various events such as the Swiss Championship artistic gymnastics, St. Galler Kantonalturnfest and the SMV Zuchwil. The task is simple but challenging: whoever stays in the handstand the longest, qualifies for the grand Final at the Swiss Cup Zürich – and secures the chance to be crowned the new Queen or King of Handstand. 

Around 100 gymnasts took on this «upside-down challenge». Young and old competed, but only twelve made it to the final. Six women and six men will be standing on their hands again on Saturday, November 9, 2024 in the Hallenstadion Zürich – this time for the crown! Who will defy gravity and emerge victorious? 

Don't miss out on this spectacle!
