Shortly before the end of the 2025/26 winter semester, the Carinthian Academic Championships in gymnastics took place once again. The competition was divided into the following three categories: ‘External’, ‘Sports Students’ and ‘Club Gymnasts’.

The performances were generally very impressive. All teams participated with great ambition and commitment. Right from the start, the teams’ entrance and the perfect choreography rounded off this event in an impressive manner.

In the EXTERNAL category, the team ‘Wird schon werden’ was crowned the winner. The SPORTS STUDENTS category was won by the team ‘Die kranken Schwestern’ by a narrow margin ahead of the team ‘Team Instabil’. Third place went to ‘Team black’. In the most technically demanding category, the team ‘Der wilde Mix’ celebrated the title of Carinthian Academic Champion. Silver went to ‘Die Schlafmützen’ and the team ‘Hopfenhelden’ was delighted to win bronze.

All in all, it was a great competition. Congratulations to all participants for their performances. A big THANK YOU to Julia BÜRGER and Patrick WOLTE for the great organisation. Perfect!

See you next year!
