The article is about the controversy and cultural appropriation of parkour in relation to the Olympic Games. It mentions that parkour originated in the suburbs of France and became popular through online video platforms in 2006. In 2017, the International Gymnastics Federation announced a new competitive modality based on parkour for the Olympic Games, which generated accusations of cultural appropriation. The concept of culture and cultural appropriation is discussed, as well as the conflicts between different federations and organizations related to parkour. The resignation of some members of the International Gymnastics Federation in relation to parkour is also addressed, and the negative consequences of cultural appropriation by the FIG are mentioned.
