If you are looking for a Parkour relevant Olympic Event then check out the 3000m Steeplechase. That is 7 1/2 laps over 28 wide hurdles (ones you can step on) with 7 water jumps. That's right, if you haven't seen it before they have massive "puddles" or water pits that get shallower the further you jump past the hurdle. We are guessing that one of these days a Traceur is going to be out there and demonstrate some speed or kong vaults over these hurdles. Will it happen this year? If you want to watch this year the events are on August 3rd (Round One) and August 5th (Final).
