Parkour Craze
Surprisingly, parkour is quite a popular sport in Iran. Otherwise known as PK, parkour is a military obstacle course training discipline developed in France by Georges Hebert in the early 1900s. Parkour eventually went mainstream, becoming highly popular among the youth in many countries by the 1990s and early 2000s.
Matching pace with their counterparts around the world, Iran’s youth joined the parkour craze. Soon enough, special parks dedicated to parkour were set up throughout the country, allowing young men and women to perform flips and tricks during their free time.
