What is "freerunning"?
Freerunning is a sport that combines running, jumping, climbing, and acrobatics in urban or natural environments. It involves moving through obstacles, such as walls, railings, and staircases, with fluid and creative movements. The focus is on self-expression, with participants often performing tricks like flips, vaults, and spins as they navigate the surroundings. Unlike parkour, which is primarily about overcoming obstacles efficiently, freerunning emphasizes style and freedom of movement. The sport is popular for its creativity and has been featured in competitions, often showcasing impressive athleticism and personal flair.
