Slovak Vaulting Cup 2022 in Topoľčianky

On the 27th of August, after a 5-year break, almost all vaulting clubs from Slovakia gathered again in the grounds of the National Stud. The reason was the penultimate round of the Slovakian national ranking, the Slovak Vaulting Cup 2022. For all trainees, vaulters and their horses, it was an opportunity to improve their previous scores in their category. Altogether, almost 60 individuals, 6 pairs and 4 groups presented themselves here. The performances were really fantastic, it was something to look at....

Within individuals, six age categories were evaluated. Among the younger male children, Filip Nikolíni from JK SŠ Ivanka pri Dunaji did the best on the horse Camélia. In the category of older children men, the best result was given by Matúš Solčiansky from JK at NŽ Topoľčianky on the horse Liliane. As many as 16 competitors fought for the championship in the category of older children and women. The championship was won by Tara Jurášová from JK SŠ Ivanka pri Dunaji on the horse Catalin Lucas G.

The squad competition is always the most attractive for the audience. In the category of younger children, the group from JK SŠ Ivanka pri Dunaji, composed of Filip Nikolíni, Laura Bačiaková, Naďa Marčeková, Emma Zaťková, Rebeka Antalíková and Alžbeta Milková on the horse Trouble Maker Z, won.
