“We set the bar high in staging last year’s world championships, so we won’t be satisfied with anything less than matching, if not surpassing, that for this forthcoming competition. This is the first Asian gymnastics meet in the country in a long while, so we want to put our best foot forward for all the participants who are coming over to Tagaytay for this tournament,” Carrion said.
The championships will feature some of Asia’s best aerobic gymnasts from Cambodia, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Mongolia, Thailand, Vietnam, and host Philippines, all competing for continental supremacy.
Athletes will vie for medals in various categories, including individual events, mixed pairs, trios, groups, and aerobic dance competitions. Beyond the pursuit of podium finishes, the tournament provides Filipino gymnasts with a valuable opportunity to test their skills against some of the region’s strongest competitors while performing in front of a home crowd.
For Carrion, the unique venue adds a special element to the competition and demonstrates the versatility of Philippine sports facilities.
“Given the location of our championships, our athletes, coaches, and officials are in for a pleasant surprise given how we transformed an indoor cycling oval into a cool-looking aerobic gymnastics arena,” she said.
The arrival of Asia’s top aerobic gymnasts in Tagaytay further strengthens the Philippines’ position as a host for major international sporting events. More than just a competition, the Asian Championships are expected to promote the growth of gymnastics locally while contributing to the country’s sports tourism efforts.
As the Tagaytay City Velodrome welcomes a new sporting chapter, the Philippines hopes to deliver a memorable experience for athletes, officials, and fans while showcasing its readiness to stage world-class events.
