Future of calisthenics and street workout after this event
This event opened new doors towards Olympic recognition and investments in our sport. This event was a huge success also from collaborative perspective, whereas WSWCF and World Obstacle has started their collaboration on Olympic integration under common principles, by merging several sports under one Olympic organization – calisthenics, parkour, ninja-warrior, obstacle course racing and many more. President of WSWCF Rolands Kikors agreed on first steps with the President of World Obstacle, Mr. Ian Adamson.
Several Host cities and countries expressed their interest in hosting large scale WSWCF events in their cities, for example, Montreal, Rio de Janeiro, Barcelona. Also, a very exotic country – Rwanda expressed its interest.
