Alicia García won Spain's freestyle parkour championship at GRAVITEO A Coruña Xacobeo this weekend, claiming the national title in the high-flying sport. El Correo Gallego reported that García triumphed after competing against Spain's best athletes over a multi-day event filled with positive energy and intense competition.
García credits her success to mental toughness as much as physical skill. She believes El Correo Gallego that parkour is "80% fear and 20% technique" — the real challenge is having the courage to push boundaries and trust your training.
From Fear to Victory on Spain's Biggest Parkour Stage
García's championship run capped off an electric weekend at GRAVITEO A Coruña Xacobeo, where Spain's top freestyle athletes gathered to test their skills. Levante-EMV noted the energy throughout the competition remained intensely positive, creating a high-level stage where only the best performers could rise to the top.
The event showcased parkour's growing popularity as a competitive sport in Spain. Athletes performed complex flips, wall runs, and aerial tricks that demand years of training and absolute fearlessness in front of judges and crowds.
What It Takes to Master Parkour at the Highest Level
García's insight into parkour's mental demands reveals why the sport separates champions from competitors. La Opinión de Coruña quoted her saying that courage matters more than pure technical skill — athletes must repeatedly face their fears to land increasingly difficult moves.
Freestyle parkour requires athletes to combine strength, balance, and timing with quick decision-making. One mistake at height can mean serious injury, so mental preparation is as important as physical conditioning for anyone chasing titles.
García Celebrates Competing Among Spain's Elite Athletes
After her victory, García reflected on the experience with genuine enthusiasm. La Opinión de Zamora reported her saying it was "very cool to compete with the best athletes in the country all weekend," highlighting the camaraderie and respect within Spain's tight-knit parkour community.
The championship weekend demonstrated parkour's strength in Spain as both a sport and a community. Young athletes now have clear pathways to compete, train, and push the sport forward at national levels.
