World Freerun Championships

Ooh, it's the World Freerunning Championships in London tomorrow, in Trafalgar Square of all places. I guess the plinthers will have to miss a day. I'm a bit confused, because I had understood freerunning to be resolutely non-competitive, but there we are; if it exposes the sport to a wider audience it's got to be a good thing. And just look at what they're going to do with the venue - I'm no traceur, but I wouldn't say no to leaping around on this:

If you want to go to London and have a look-see, don't bother. All 8000 tickets to the event have sold out, and without that magic wristband you won't see a single kong vault. Will it be properly televised, I wonder...
