Free running

New sports are invented all the time. They spread quickly around the world and find new fans.

A popular new sport in recent years is “free running”. It is also called “parkour (跑酷)”. This is a French word. It comes from the name of special (特殊的) training for soldiers. It is the sport of moving through a place by running, jumping and climbing under, around and through things.

Free running is not like other sports. You do not use a ball or a bat. You do not have to wear special clothes. In fact, all you need is your own body and the environment where you live. You can practice by yourself or with other people. The sport is a little like gymnastics, and requires great skill and athletic ability. Free runners try to get from one place to another over whatever obstacles are in their way. They do this in the fastest and most efficient way.

They do not use any other equipment, but their body. The sport involves running, jumping, climbing, swinging, rolling, and many other movements.

The sport was born in France. The founder (创始人) was in the army. In the army, they had special courses, and soldiers had to complete them. This made them stronger and fitter. He then taught it to his son. His son started using it in the city where he lived. Slowly, more people joined him and it became popular.

Now free running is popular with young people around the world. It has also appeared (出现) in films and music videos. It is also being considered as a possible new Olympic sport for future game. Of course, you must only practice with trained people, and you must fit!
