  • Splashdiving World Championships - 28 and 29 July 2007 - Hamburg, Germany
  • New 'freestyle bombing' water sport attracts athletes from across the globe
  • World's first Parcouring World Championship - 9 and 10 June, 2007, Munich

Bayreuth, Germany 8 June 2007 - Kultos Entertainment Limited, a leading Communications and Events Management organisation, is to host two major alternative sporting events this summer. Athletes from across the world will gather in Germany to compete in two of the world's newest and most entertaining extreme sports: Splashdiving and Parcouring. Kultos Entertainment will ensure the Championships are enjoyed to their full by athletes, spectators and press through a number of parties and festivals to celebrate these unusual and fun summer sports.

The Mentos® Splashdiving World Championship will take place on 28th and 29th July at the Kaifu-Bad pool in Hamburg, Germany. Splashdiving is the new freestyle bombing water sport which originated in Germany. Unlike springboard diving and high diving, the objective when diving is to displace as much water as possible with as much noise as possible. So far, 13 official dives have been developed, which in competitions are performed from the 10-metre board. All the dives are shown at www.splashdiving.com.

The world's first Parcouring World Championship will take place in Munich on June 9 and 10 this year. The new and exciting endurance sport of Parcouring combines a variety of movement sports, such as track and field athletics, gymnastics, running, freerunning and dance. Athletes from Bulgaria, Germany, Russia and the United Kingdom will meet to decide the first ever world champion.  
    
In Parcouring, the aim is to get through a varied course of obstacles using power and stamina. A very interesting, challenging obstacle course will be constructed at the championship venue, which the athletes will have to complete in the fastest possible time. Over the course of 3 heats, the number of competitors will be whittled down to 12 finalists. The athlete who completes the "Final Run" in the fastest time will become the first Parcouring World Champion.
