A Heartfelt Thank You from Riga Amber Cup 2026! ⛸️💎
A massive thank you to all the athletes, coaches, and team staff! And, of course, to the incredible fans who filled the stands of the Daugava Arena. These past three days have been the ultimate reward for all the energy and heart we put into making this event a reality.
A Milestone Event
This was our first time organizing a competition of such a scale. Hosting so many teams from such a broad geography and welcoming a top-tier judging panel was an honor. We were especially proud to see such strong representation in the ISU Junior and ISU Senior categories.
Seeing your programs - the choreography, the energy, and the stories told through music - made all the exhaustion vanish. Your amazing technical skills and artistry filled our hearts with pure joy!
We stood breathless watching the top teams, and we felt every emotion alongside those who are just beginning their international journey.
Our Special Gratitude
-
To the Fans: A special thank you to the vibrant, loud, and passionate crowds! You are what makes this sport so special and the atmosphere so electric.
-
To the Officials: A huge thank you to our Judging and Technical panels for ensuring a fair, objective, and professional competition.
-
To our Volunteers: We could never have done this without you! Your dedication and smiles were the backbone of this event. You are simply the best!
Enjoy the Winter Magic
To everyone on their way home - we wish you a safe and smooth journey. For those staying in Riga for a few more days: winter is still here! ❄️
Make sure to enjoy it. If you have the chance, visit Jūrmala—it is a truly unique experience to walk on a frozen sea, a memory we hope you take home with you.
Once again, a massive, massive thank you to everyone!
Remember to stay hydrated with Stelpes water and stay #OATstandingSynchro with Dobeles Dzirnavnieks.
See you next year in Riga!
