Spoiler Alert: Secret Details Revealed
And now for the moment you've been waiting for: spoilers! Filippo, Pietro and Max have kindly shared some tidbits about the challenges that await you. Do you want to know them? Read the interview below!
Hello lads! Tell whoever reads us who you are, where you come from/what you do in life (… and a florin)?
Hi everyone! So, let's start with Max who is a regular visitor to the CrossFit® box, an excellent competitor and the one who will manage all the volunteers on the competition field, that is, he will be our coach, as well as being the graphic designer of the whole competition.
Then there's Pietro who is the patron of Gladius, the one who gave us the international ideas and who will take care of all the logistics during the race.
Then there's me, Filippo, who sells houses in my life and who will be the speaker during the competition, as well as having acted as a salesman and organizer of our sponsors!
A pleasure to meet you all. We are curious, how did the idea of creating Parma 4 Games come about?
The Parma4Games were the natural evolution of a previous competition, both in terms of organizational and commercial development, enhancing certain aspects such as the location and bringing a normal competition to a sporting event.
But yours is a particular race. Let's start with the format: a 4-man team race and not the “usual” 2-man race. Why did you decide to step outside the box a bit?
In truth, it was originally a 3+1 race, which then evolved into teams of four.
Pietro brought the idea from his Brazilian experience and we all liked it right away, leaving the normal competitions a bit and continuing not to require online qualifications in favor of direct access.
We think it's much more fun and less stressful!
We know that you have a "special guest" who will create the wods to test the athletes at 360°: Andrea Barbotti. How was this collaboration born?
We immediately thought of Barbo because, in addition to being a friend and one of the best competitors in Italy, he has a long experience in the Crossfit world. And then, which is no small thing, he immediately proved to be a very helpful person!
Still on the wod theme: how many will there be? Will we see any particular skill or are you more old school?
For now we are on the six scores for everyone with composite wods too, we will put various skills, nothing strange, but new things and little used in the other races.
But above all, we will test the participants on every aspect, in this case Andre (Barbotti) has really outdone himself!
We are curious to find out the location where the athletes will compete. What can they expect?
The location is a rugby field of over 2000 m², with a relaxation area and adjacent shaded park, a vendor area on the side and an excellent restaurant that will serve as hospitality with fit dishes for the athletes.
Obviously free public area with bar where you will also find sandwiches and drinks!
Is there anything new for this edition? Have you made any changes since last year?
Certain! We have a competition field with double rigs: facing each other for greater show and visibility. In the interval there will be a performance by the Pole dance school.
Then there will be more news, but we can't reveal them at the moment 😉
Will there be a cut for the final? And are there prize pools for everyone?
Contrary to what everyone expects: there will NOT be a cut for the final! Any other news? Prize money for all winners! You are ready??
