2017

The best Czech high jump meeting and one of the ten best specialized meetings according to All-Athletics.com, Hustopečské skákání 2017 will offer not only a fantastic start list for women and men categories filled with world-class jumpers, but also a chance to meet the stars themselves, led by Olympic champion and world record holder Dietmar Mögenburg. It is also a great honor that this year’s meeting is governed by Minister of Education, Mgr. Kateřina Valachová, Ph.D. “We see it as a recognition of our work and all our efforts over the last 18 years.” Said Zbyněk Háder, meeting’s director.

It will be the 18th chapter in the extensive book of the Hustopečské skákání, a high jump meeting in Hustopeče that proves time and again that it is indeed the best indoor high jump event in the Czech Republic. “Even today the final battle between Tamberi, Italia and Baker, UK is fresh in our minds. It was a wonderful sight which meant not only that the standing record of 238 cm was met, but also the two best performances in the world.” Says Zbyněk Háder, the director of Hustopečské skákání.
