It comes four months after the FIG Congress voted in favour of including parkour as an official discipline.

Representatives of the world governing body gathered in Azerbaijan’s capital Baku in December and ratified the statutes valid from January 1, 2018, following the FIG Executive Committee’s decision.

The vote came despite a concerted campaign from parkour communities around the world to persuade participating National Gymnastics Federations to vote against the inclusion.

With many familiar faces returning this year, the invited athletes will be joined for the first time by representatives selected by their National Federations at the West Square of Culture and Sports Center.

Strong teams from Czech Republic, Japan and The Netherlands are expected to make for an exciting qualification round as 21 men and 13 women race for the top-eight final spots each. 

Spain’s Pedro León Gómez is back to defend a healthy number one ranking in the men’s speed run, but with four others less than 0.5 seconds behind in French city Montpellier last year, "Phosky" is likely to have his work cut out to stay on top.

The women’s speed run saw Russia’s Aleksandra Shevchenko and Ukraine’s Anna Griukach tied for the lead in 2018.

A total of 25 points behind in third place was The Netherlands’ Saskia Neville, last year's champion in Japanese city Hiroshima.
