What Gravity Challenge

The Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation was delighted to take part in a special training session bringing together professional athletes and young members of the Monaco Athletics Club ahead of the very first What Gravity Challenge taking place today, 5 August 2026.

Founded by our Ambassador Mutaz Barshim and organised by the Fédération Monégasque d’Athlétisme, this unique event gave children the opportunity to discover the high jump alongside some of the world’s best athletes. Under the guidance of the professionals, everyone had the chance to challenge themselves, learn new skills and experience the discipline in an inspiring and supportive atmosphere.

For this special occasion, our Ambassadors Antoine Zeghdar and Kevin Crovetto joined the Foundation to share these memorable moments with the children, alongside our General Secretary Gareth Wittstock.

Filled with smiles and encouragement this session perfectly reflected the Foundation’s mission: using the power of sport to educate, inspire and empower young people.

Because we believe that sport is much more than competition, it is a powerful tool for building confidence, respect, teamwork and resilience.

Thank you to all the athletes and partners who made this unforgettable experience possible.
