The Malagasy tracer Toky Ranaivomanana will finally not be able to participate in the Parkour World Cup which will take place this weekend in Montpellier. According to the explanations, his visa was not validated in time. He was obliged to cancel his departure which was scheduled for yesterday. “It saddens me not to be able to represent Madagascar despite all the efforts we have made. But don’t worry because our efforts will not be wasted but will help us to prepare even better for the next competition.”, he said. The other Malagasy athlete Faliniaina Antonia is already in France. He had spent a good weekend in Nantes during which he met people passionate about this discipline. He was also able to learn more about the slave trade from the 18th to the 19th century. He will be engaged in two categories namely Freestyle and Speed run. This will be Madagascar’s second participation in this competition organized by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), as part of the International Festival of Extreme Sports (FISE).
