* f i g --: The 2nd FIG Parkour World Championships will once again take place in Japan from 15-17 November, this time heading south to the city of Kitakyushu after visiting Tokyo in 2022.
Over 100 athletes from more than 40 nations representing all five of the FIG’s continental unions will converge at Katsuyama Park in the heart of Kitakyushu, the city that is the gateway to Kyushu - the southernmost of Japan’s main islands. Over three days the athletes will compete for the world titles in Speed and Freestyle, plus new Junior World Championship titles in a new competition that will run in parallel.
The Speed and Freestyle events offer fast-paced, action-packed performances. In Speed, the objective is simple: get from start to finish as fast as possible, overcoming obstacles in the way with style and finesse. In Freestyle, athletes run their “line” on the same course, taking between 25 and 45 seconds to impress the judges with their prowess and earning points for difficulty and execution.
The competition starts on Friday 15 November with qualifications in the Women’s Speed and Men’s Freestyle events, with semi-finals (Speed only) and finals taking place on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 November.
