Raising the Bar: The Magic of Banskobystrická latka. Slovak Sound Check Episode 37. (2.3.2026 16:00)
02.03.2026
The Banskobystrická latka is one of Slovakia’s true sporting highlights — a prestigious indoor high jump meeting with Silver status on the World Athletics Indoor Tour, the highest ranking available for events of its kind anywhere in the world. Last week, its 32nd edition filled the Štiavničky indoor arena beneath the iconic Urpín hill to capacity, once again delivering world-class performances and an atmosphere you could almost touch. We’ll take you behind the scenes with meeting manager Alfons Juck and director Martin Škarba, the driving forces behind the event’s success. Among the standout moments: Serbia’s Angelina Topić soaring over the two-metre mark to set a new national record, Sweden’s Louise Ekman securing third place with a personal best of 1.96 metres, and Czech star Jan Štefela claiming victory under the guidance of his coach Jaroslav Bába, who himself won here back in 2005. World-class heights, a packed arena, and moments that linger long after the bar comes down — that’s the magic of Banskobystrická latka. As always, the programme concludes with a new edition of our language corner, Slovak Sound Check.
