Pasé buen rato conociendo a algunos de los atletas y disfrutando de su jerga, sus trucos y su entusiasmo. La competencia comenzó con la categoría amateur, que fue la primera en salir. Observé con atención y admiración el talento de muchos principiantes que, a pesar de estar en los primeros pasos, mostraban un potencial increíble para el futuro del calistenia en la calle. La energía era contagiosa.
Luego, finalizó la categoría amateur y comenzó la categoría semi profesional, un momento muy especial para mí, porque fue mi primera participación en ese nivel. Comencé con mi rutina, que incluía un 360, seguido de un front lever de cinco segundos, un pull over y una full planche también durante cinco segundos. Luego pasé a un back lever, realizando cinco dominadas y tres presses, manteniendo el back lever durante tres segundos más antes de bajarme. Para terminar, llevé a cabo una wide straddle planche, haciendo un press y cayendo en un hollow back. La sensación de haber dado lo mejor de mí en ese momento fue indescriptible.
Al concluir, me tocó competir contra un oponente realmente formidable. El no solo realizó dos tornado 360, sino también dos 540 y dos supra 540 en una secuencia impresionante. En el plano estático, mostró un front lever S.A.T., seguido de un front lever touch con un press, además de un front lever de un brazo y, finalmente, tres Hefestos, cerrando su ronda con maestría.
Esta experiencia me enseñó mucho: entender que todavía tengo mucho por mejorar y que, sin importar quién sea el rival, la actitud y el esfuerzo son lo más importante. Sentí cierto abrumamiento por su nivel, pero eso no me detuvo ni retrocedió. Al final, en este deporte, solo importa dar lo mejor de uno mismo.
Upon arrival, the atmosphere was simply electric. You could feel a unique energy in the air, a community spirit that transcends the competition itself. The athletes were full of life, sharing genuine respect and a deep passion for this sport we love so much. It was impressive to see so many high-level competitors gathered, each with their own style and talent, proving that Street Workout is not only about strength, but also about art.
I had a great time getting to know some of the athletes and enjoying their slang, tricks, and enthusiasm. The competition began with the amateur category, which was the first to start. I watched with attention and admiration the talent of many beginners who, despite being in their first steps, showed incredible potential for the future of street calisthenics. The energy was contagious.
Then, the amateur category ended and the semi-professional category began, a very special moment for me because it was my first time at that level. I started with my routine, which included a 360, followed by a five-second front lever, a pullover, and a full planche, also for five seconds. I then moved on to a back lever, performing five pull-ups and three presses, holding the back lever for three more seconds before lowering myself. To finish, I performed a wide straddle planche, performing a press, and landing in a hollow back. The feeling of having given my all at that moment was indescribable.
At the end, I had to compete against a truly formidable opponent. He not only performed two tornado 360s, but also two 540s and two supra 540s in an impressive sequence. On the static level, he performed a front lever S.A.T., followed by a front lever touch with a press, a one-arm front lever, and finally, three Hephaestuses, closing out his round masterfully.
This experience taught me a lot: to understand that I still have a lot to improve and that, no matter who the opponent is, attitude and effort are the most important things. I felt a bit overwhelmed by his level, but that didn't stop me or slow me down. In the end, in this sport, the only thing that matters is giving your best.
