Greetings

Dear athletes, dear guests,
Welcome to the 67th International Jumping Day in Rostock! This traditional event is a highlight in the sports calendar of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It is with great pleasure that I have once again taken over the patronage.
Rostock, our beautiful Hanseatic city on the Baltic Sea, will once again open its doors to top athletes from all over the world from March 13 to 16, 2025. With its first-class facilities, the Neptun indoor swimming pool offers the perfect stage for top performances in artistic and high diving. There will also be a top-class international field of competitors from 15 countries in 2025. We can all look forward to that!
The International Show Jumping Day stands for much more than just sport. It shows how we can come together across borders and build bridges. Especially in these challenging times, this is so important. These efforts deserve the utmost respect!
My special thanks go to the organizers and the many helpers for the great preparation of this event. They are all helping to ensure that Rostock and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern can once again present themselves as cosmopolitan hosts.
I wish all the athletes every success and the guests a great time!
 

Manuela Schwesig 

Minister President of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Immerse yourself in top class - Welcome to Rostock!

Dear athletes
dear guests,

Welcome to Rostock for the 67th International Jumping Day! For decades, this event has been an integral part of the international competition calendar - and in 2025, the elite of water diving will once again gather here in Rostock. The fact that the competitions have once again been recognized as a “World Aquatics Diving Recognised Event” shows the high level of this competition. We in Rostock are very proud of this!

Of course, we are particularly pleased about the athletes of Wasserspringerclub Rostock e.V., who regularly shine with strong performances. Their success shows that water diving not only has a tradition here, but also a future.

Rostock is closely linked to the water - through its location on the Baltic Sea, the many leisure and water sports opportunities and also competitive sport. The Neptun indoor swimming pool has been a center for top-class sport for decades and has already brought many talents to the big stage of international sport. The International Diving Day is therefore not only a sporting highlight, but also a symbol of Rostock's vibrant water sports culture.

A big thank you goes to the organizers from Rostocker Springertag e.V. and to all the volunteers who make this event possible with their commitment. I wish all athletes successful and fair competitions - and all of us exciting days with spectacular jumps!

Yours sincerely

Eva-Maria Kröger
Mayor of the Hanseatic and University City of Rostock
