CZThe ICU European Cheerleading Championships are taking place in Prague for the third time, featuring both sports cheerleading with acrobatics and pyramid formations, as well as performance cheer with synchronized dance routines. The event includes both professional and amateur participants, with Czech teams competing at various levels. According to Jana Slavíková, vice president of the Czech Association of Cheerleaders, cheerleading is not just about athletic performance but also about building community and friendship. While Scandinavian countries dominate in Europe, Czech teams have made significant progress since the 1990s and now compete internationally. The Czech team Green Force One, part of the Fighters Cheerleaders club, is participating in the highest category, though they acknowledge strong international competition and realistic expectations. Participants emphasize the continuous self-improvement aspect of the sport, which can be pursued at any age.
