Parkour Earth welcome report that FIG claims to have abandoned attempts to force parkour into the Olympics

We would like to share and comment on this recent article from Inside the Games.

Parkour Earth welcomes the news that FIG claims to no longer attempt to force parkour into the Olympics against the will of both the parkour community and many of their own members.

We note that Morinari Wanatabe seems to have, for the first time, accepted the legitimacy of other organisations with respect to parkour and will continue our important work resisting illegitimate attempts to co-opt our discipline by organisations that think that financial power is more important than legitimate connection to the discipline.

Parkour Earth continues to monitor the developments closely.

Parkour Earth was founded by parkour practitioners and is made up of national bodies, authentic community members and active parkour practitioners working together to build an international body for the 21st century. We invite all parkour practitioners to join us in this important work.
