Krisztofer Meszaros
The final world challenge cup of the season kicks off tomorrow, September 26, in Szombathely, Hungary, with a stacked roster that includes many athletes continuing their preparation for world championships next month.
Representing the host country are Olympians Krisztofer Meszaros, Zoja Szekely, and Lili Czifra, with Czifra competing as a “hors concours” athlete with exhibition routines in qualifications only. Olympic champions Artem Dolgopyat of Israel and Eleftherios Petrounias of Greece are also expected on the men’s side, while the women’s field features Olympic medalists Flavia Saraiva and Julia Soares of Brazil.
The action will begin with qualifications tomorrow, September 26, while finals will be held on Saturday and Sunday at 3 pm local time both days. The Hungarian federation has a live stream for qualifications on its website, which you’ll need a VPN to access if you’re not in Hungary, and you’ll be able to stream finals via FIG TV. There are no live scoring platforms set to share results for this event.
