World Games: Italy also on the parkour podium, with Consolini taking bronze.

Parkour's most important sponsor is cinema, often Hollywood, but also Asian. Action scenes, those in which one moves (often chased) from one rooftop to another, from a fire escape to a window, are known as 'parkour', one of the disciplines competing at the Chengdu World Games, where no one chases anyone, but instead seeks out tricks, overcoming urban or natural obstacles. And Italy is also present here: Andrea Consolini qualified for the speed final with a time of 27:47, improving in the final act to 27:27 and snatching the third step of the podium: Switzerland's Caryl Cordt-Moeller (25:30) won, while Czech Jaroslav Chum (25:83) took silver. But the 'made in Italy' bronze medal is worth its weight in gold for a movement that is constantly growing, especially among younger athletes.
