National Pole Sports and Para Pole Championships 2025

Pole Sports is based above all on sporting performance and the execution of particularly demanding technical elements. They are judged and governed by a “Points Code” which has been drafted in line with the Olympic standards used for other sports such as gymnastics or figure skating. This emblematic sporting component of these disciplines evolves in strict compliance with Olympic standards.

The final competition is the Para Pole. Aimed at all athletes with a disability, they are judged and governed by the same “Points Code” as the sporting version. The discipline is organized according to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) classification system. In para-sport, athletes are grouped according to their degree of limitation and type of disability, to avoid giving an advantage to the athlete least affected by a handicap.
