Van de Spijker Seals FIG Parkour World Cup Overall Title

Siebe van de Spijker secured the 2026 FIG Parkour World Cup overall title in men's speed with a final victory in Beijing. The Dutch athlete stopped the clock at 22.46 seconds on the Shougang Park course, clinching the series crown at the third and last World Cup stop of the year.

Dutch double in the capital

The double success was confirmed by the International Gymnastics Federation as the season closed.

From Montpellier to the title

The campaign opened in France on 18 May 2026, where van de Spijker set a new world record in the speed-run discipline.

Ryan Abiang of the United States announced himself as an emerging force at the Beijing event, and home favourite Shang Chunsong, the reigning world champion, also won on Chinese soil. Yet neither rider could prevent van de Spijker from sealing the series.

A quiet close to a loud season

No athlete quote was recorded after the final. The numbers, however, tell the story plainly: a world record to open the year, a series title to close it.
