WSWCF World Championship 23
Ireland are heading to Latvia!
We are delighted to say this year four of our Bar Monkey Team will be heading to Latvia to compete in the World Street Workout and Calisthenics Federation World Championships!
The four to qualify are:
Aaron Fitzpatrick - Male Power Category
Will Adam - Male Freestyle Category
Daniel Meghen - Male Freestyle Category
Leah Conaty - Female Freestyle Category
This is a really proud moment for the club, and we are so excited for the athletes involved!
For Will, Daniel and Leah, this is their first-ever competition. They are all also only 14 years of age, making them the youngest ever athletes to qualify for the World Championships! This is a genuinely amazing achievement, and all of us in the club are so happy for them, that their hard work and dedication to the sport is now officially recognised in a big way.
Check the video above to see how they are feeling after qualifying, and their thoughts on how they think the competition will impact them and what they will learn from the event!
To support them in their pursuit, we have established a GoFundMe Page to help cover some of the costs associated with travelling, and any contribution is massively appreciated. You can do so at the link below:
The World Championship takes place in Riga Latvia, August 22-25th and we hope you can all wish our athletes the best of luck as they represent Ireland on the World Stage!
