INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (February 5, 2026) – USA Gymnastics on Thursday announced the 60 elite junior men from six regions who will travel to Louisville, Kentucky, for the 2026 Elite Team Cup on February 21. More than 20 athletes from past editions of the competition will again see action at the event, held in conjunction with the 2026 Winter Cup.

The Elite Team Cup features team, all-around, and apparatus competition, with eight athletes from each region competing for the team crown. The top six scores from each team will determine the winner.

Region 3 will look to defend its 2025 team title in the second running of the Elite Team Cup since the men’s regional realignment. The top individual returner is Joshua Hanny, who placed 13th in last year’s all-around competition.

The 2026 Elite Team Cup will stream live on USA Gymnastics’ YouTube channel. Complete information about the event can be found at wintercup.com.
