City Event
On the 11 and 12 October on the Schlossplatz in Stuttgart, a varied programme with all the facets that gymnastics has to offer awaits you. Our highlight is the Parkour competition with freestyle and speed challenges.

In addition to the sports facilities, the City Event offers a varied programme throughout the day:
- Transmissions of the Gymnastics World Championships out of the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer Halle
- Interviews with top athletes from gymnastics and Parkour
- Show performances by professionals on the Slackline

- Schlossplatz TV: Live-Entertainment with LED-monitor and presentation
Our trendy sports
There are two disciplines, on the one hand speed and on the other hand freestyle.
On Friday, 11. 10. 19 the Speed Challenge is about overcoming the given obstacles in the fastest possible time. Roughly estimated, the professionals need about 20 to 25 seconds for an 80 meter long track with obstacles. Of course, it always depends on how long the route is and how many or how difficult the obstacles are. Because the field is always close to each other, it is precisely specified how the obstacles must be overcome and if it is violated, there is a time penalty.
If you want to see the craziest Parkour tricks, you should take part on Saturday, October 12th, when the Parkourers prove their creativity during the Freestyle Challenge. Here there are several rounds in which the Parkourers show their skills. The day before they can visit the location and think about what they want to show and where. Each exercise is unique, as each Parkourer has different preferences. A jury evaluates you according to the categories creativity, execution, difficulty, landing and flow.
