Here is useful information about access to the expo center, athletes check-in, the warm-up area and the workout schedule with the heat times
The 2025 Italian Showdown will take place from May 30 to June 1 in Pavilion A5 of the Rimini Expo Center, directly accessible from the West entrance or the South entrance. In the Event Venue and Travel and Accommodation sections of the official website you will find all the useful information to organize your transfer and stay.
To access the Expo Center you will need the RiminiWellness ticket: all athletes have already been sent an invitation by e-mail with instructions for downloading the free ticket. All others (coaches, companions, spectators) must buy the ticket on the RiminiWellness website. Instructions for downloading the free ticket can be found in the Entrance Ticket section of the official website.
Athletes check-in will take place half an hour before their heat at the entrance to the warm-up area. Show up at check-in at the warm-up time (the one written in red in the heat program) which can already be downloaded in the Workout Schedule section of the official website.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SHOW UP EARLY FOR CHECK-IN, BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT BE ADMITTED BEFORE YOUR TURN AND YOU WILL END UP CREATING A QUEUE!
At check-in you only need to bring a valid identity document; the registration email is NOT needed and the medical certificate is NOT needed. After check-in you will be admitted to the warm-up area with only one companion per athlete or team; here you will be given the identification bracelets that you will have to wear until the last day of the competition.
Inside the warm-up area you will be given the athlete pack reserved for competitors with the official t-shirt, the patch and the stickers of the 2025 Italian Showdown, as well as gifts from the sponsors. The delegates to collect the athlete pack of the absent athletes will be able to do so only on Sunday. All the details on check-in can be found in the Athletes Check-in section of the official website.
NEW THIS YEAR: in the warm-up area there will always be a Head Judge representative who you can contact to get all the information on the flow of the workouts and the movement standards, which can already be found in the Workout Schedule section of the official website.
IMPORTANT: ORGANIZE YOURSELF TO STICK TO THE TIMES OF YOUR HEATS, BECAUSE LATECOMERS WILL NOT BE ADMITTED.
