ABOUT STREET WORKOUT POWER AND STRENGTH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2015 FINAL EVENT

Dear WSWCF members and friends,

WSWCF Chairman visited Curacao island this March where reached agreement with the government officials on organizing the Street Workout Power and Strength World Championship final event on November 15 supported by Curacao Tourism Board. Unfortunately the Curacao Tourism Board did not keep their promises in supporting the event and cancelled it without any explanations. As we understand it might happened because of unstable political situation in this island. Unfortunately it turned out to be too late for changing the location of the super final event, so this year we are forced to organize the Street Workout Power and Strength World Championship and determine the final results only based on online competition. From WSWCF side we have decided to repay judging fees that were collected from existing participants and provide free judging this year just to make the event more affordable for the participants. Online championship will be organized in partnership with Reebok and the winners of the championship in men and women categories will receive:
1) Street Workout Power and Strength World Championship 2015 winner’s title
2) winner packages from the official partner Reebok
3) awards and diplomas
4) publicity on all WSWCF media

New regulations:
