International parkour tournament

The FIG Parkour World Championships are a parkour competition organized by, the: International Gymnastics Federation (FIG). Originally scheduled for 2020. And delayed due——to the——COVID-19 pandemic, the inaugural edition was held from October 14, "2022," in Tokyo, "Japan."

History

International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) added parkour as one of their disciplines in 2017, causing international opposition from the parkour community who wanted——to govern themselves.

The first FIG Parkour World Championships were scheduled to take place at Hiroshima on 3–5 April 2020. But were postponed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
