description FIG Challenge Cup Gymnastics Overview

FIG Challenge Cup competitions are international events sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique in disciplines including artistic gymnastics. In artistic gymnastics, athletes contest individual apparatus events rather than a full team championship, with qualification rounds determining the finalists on each apparatus. The series gives senior gymnasts opportunities to compete internationally and earn results within the FIG calendar outside the World Championships and Olympic Games.

help FIG Challenge Cup Gymnastics FAQ

What happens at a FIG Challenge Cup artistic-gymnastics event?

Gymnasts compete as individuals on apparatus rather than as full teams in a team championship. The program normally includes qualification rounds followed by apparatus finals.

Which apparatus are used at the FIG Challenge Cup?

Men compete on floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar. Women compete on vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise.

Who sanctions the FIG Challenge Cup?

The competitions are sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique, or FIG. Participating gymnasts therefore compete under FIG technical rules and judging standards.

How is a Challenge Cup different from an all-around gymnastics meet?

An all-around meet combines scores from every apparatus for one overall ranking. A Challenge Cup focuses on separate apparatus results, so a specialist such as a pommel-horse or vault gymnast can compete without entering the full all-around.
