How This World Cup Came to Canada

In 2025, Vanda Hadarean brought a group of Canadian athletes to compete at the World Championships in Croatia.

What happened there changed everything.

During the competition, Slobodanka Tintor, President of the International Body Fitness Federation (IBFF), approached Vanda with an opportunity — to bring an international competition to Canada.

After years of building a strong program and community through IBV Fit Kids, and representing Canada on the international stage, she was invited to host the World Cup.

This event represents more than a competition — it is an opportunity to grow the sport, unite the international community, and give Canadian athletes a global stage.

What It Is

What Is the Acrobatic Fitness World Cup?

The Acrobatic Fitness World Cup is an international event where athletes perform choreographed routines that blend athletic skill, artistic movement, and stage presence.

01

Tumbling

Dynamic movement patterns that showcase control, power, and athletic ability on stage.

02

Acrobatics

Skills that highlight coordination, flexibility, strength, and body awareness through performance.

03

Strength & Endurance

Routines are designed to reflect athletic conditioning, stamina, and the ability to perform with confidence.

04

Artistic Movement

Music, choreography, and costumes bring each routine to life and allow every athlete to express their unique style.

Each routine blends both technical skill and artistic expression, allowing athletes to showcase their individual strengths.

This is not just about performance — it is about confidence, creativity, growth, fun, and experience.
