The 9th STY International Gymnastics Cup is happening on October 18-20, 2024  at the Muntinlupa Sports Complex in Muntinlupa City. With over 700 athletes from the Philippines (Manila, Ifugao, Davao, Cebu, Bicol, Bacolod, Bataan,  Quezon) and nearby Asian countries such as  Indonesia, Vietnam, Hong Kong and India, it is the largest international gymnastics meet in the country.

With the recent excitement in Carlos Yulo’s golds in the Olympics, this international competition opens doors  to show our Filipino gymnasts in both the local and international arena.  Hosted by PGAA STY Gymnastics Center, the STY Cup is one of the most anticipated gymnastics competitions of 2024.   “ Last year we welcomed over 500 gymnasts here in the Philippines and in other countries, and I am looking forward to this year seeing more promising athletes showcasing their skills in the competition, making new friends and learning from each other.  This year we saw an increase number of gymnasts and we have for the first time opened the Men’s Artistic Gymnastics category.  It is so refreshing to see renewed enthusiasm in this sport  said PGAA STY Founder and Head Coach Normita “Boots” Ty.

The Opening Ceremony is scheduled for October 18 at 5:00 pm. The Competition Proper is scheduled for October 19 and 20 from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, featuring Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Levels 1 to 7 and Men’s Artistic Gymnastics levels 1 to 3.

“We see the potential of gymnastics in the country which has also led us to expand our gym  just this year  in Carmona, Cavite.  We want to make  gymnastics  accessible to more people to cultivate a new generation of athletes. By opening this new facility we are able to provide  top notch training, and a supportive environment for gymnasts to thrive.” Coach Boots shares.

Coach Boots established PGAA STY Gymnastics Center in 2008 with the dream to develop elite Filipino athletes who would compete with the world’s best and make their country and community proud. The ongoing grassroots training program is supported by the city government, and scholars under Muntinlupa Gymnastics Club train and compete alongside the PGAA STY delegation.
