V4 Winter Games Emil Open 2026 – sports competitions

The venue, the Ski Resort Lipno, will remain unchanged, there are many barrier-free sports grounds and there is sufficient barrier-free accommodation in České Budějovice. Newly, short track will be added to the original 6 sports - downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing, snowshoes, para hockey camp and figure skating camp. This year, we will expand para hockey and figure skating to include a competitive section. In para hockey, we will organise a mixed mini-tournament across countries, thereby promoting integrity. Short track camp will contain an exhibition performance, one-day competition for those interested and visitors will also be able to try it out. Like previous years, the Games have two sports categories - open and mixed. Open category is intended for children and young people with disabilities without the condition of being registered members of a sports club. As we mentioned, we see sport as a tool for social inclusion so the mixed category is intended for joint activities of disabled and intact children and youth. They will compete according to modified international rules adapted to this level of sport. We will also continue with the set professionalisation of the level of races in terms of technical and sporting aspects.
