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.[3]
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.[4][5][6]
