David Belle is standing on a wall of a bridge.

Metres below him, people are walking along a

path. Suddenly he jumps from one wall to the other wall. David is doing a sport he invented in
the 1990s, called parkour.

In parkour you jump up, over, and down walls, moving from building to building. You try to
move quickly and easily and ignore the big obstacles around you. Some people think it should
be an Olympic sport. Others choose to call it a philosophy that helps you with problems in
everyday life.

David first practised parkour in his home city of Paris. The sport quickly attracted interest and
soon lots of other people wanted to try it, too. Practitioners of parkour are called traceurs, and
today there are growing numbers of them all over the world.

When parkour reached Argentina, it quickly became popular in different parts of the country,
including San Juan and Córdoba. In 2015, the City of Buenos Aires government agreed to build
a parkour park in Mataderos, a southern district of the city. The park is the first of its kind in
Latin America.
