<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

2021 was a really good year for highlining and longlining!<\/span> In the discipline of highline freestyle, we had 5 Master size contests and the first ever worldcup! The year started and ended with both editions of the Pandemic Open Online Competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A great way to get the worldwide community together! But that’s not all, check out the great achievements by athletes in speed highlining and the world records in distance walking on the high- and longline.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Freestyle Highline – Men <\/span><\/h2>\n

The ISA Sport Commission defined the CCHF in Cima Caldoline in Italy<\/a> to be classified as the first ever Highline Freestyle World Cup, due to the extremly high level field of participants, professional judging and organisation by Slackline Brescia<\/a>. Alexian Masson (France) won that event by performing an incredible backflip (check the video) and secured the overall title for 2021. <\/span><\/p>\n

David Palomo Echavarrieta (Spain) came second only 1 point behind in the overal ranking. You can hear more about David\u2019s vision of slackline in the podcast below (interview starts at 14:00). Ian Eisenberg (US) completes the yearly podium, a nice achievement on top of organising the pandemic open competitions and more this year!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

We reached out to Alexian, <\/span><\/h3>\n

“I actually learned just before new year that I was the world highline freestyle ISA champion 2021. I didn’t know that the CCHF freestyle contest has been ranked as a world cup (and I was expecting David to win). It is a big surprise for me but still a great pleasure and an honor.<\/p>\n

“From my point of view, CCHF was a big freestyle meeting of one week. I went there to meet good old friends but also because a lot of awesome freestyle highliners were expecting to be there. In the end, I won the competiton after super tight final runs. But the important thing was actually the fun and pleasure to compete against each other. No money or shiny prizes involved.<\/p>\n

“For sure competion is not the main goal for a lot freestyle highliners. Neverless, it allows me to push myself above my level, and to meet amazing people sharing the same passion. Sometimes, it’s difficult to train alone and motivate yourself to push harder. I think those kind of meetings will push our displine further, and hopefully motivate even more people to bounce.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
