From 17th to 20th Novermber 2022 Prague hosts the cream of parkour sports.

Horses have complete comfort. They have horse showers here that have both hot and cold water. They have heating in the stables.

It is common to have cold water at normal international races. But in Praha the organizers prepare larger boxes so that they have enough space around them, and  also provide warm water, which is more pleasant in this weather. The horse sweats in the arena, this is pleasant for him, he gets rid of the sweat, gets a massage blanket and a warm blanket for the night. It helps his muscles relax again.

It is a small detail that documents the level of organization of the top event of global world sport. The Prague Playoffs is the highlight of the year-long Global Champions League series, which travels around the world from Doha to Madrid, St. Tropez to London or from Paris to Riyadh.

The four-day event started on Thursday 17th Nov. and has two highlights. Eighteen teams compete in the Super Cup. On Thursday, the quarter-finals are scheduled, and on Friday, the semi-finals are already at the start with the Prague Lions of rider and manager Anna Kellnerová, who took a historic third place in the basic part of the competition. The top six teams advance to Sunday's final.

The position of the Prague Lions is amazing. They have great chances to advance to the finals, the fans certainly have something to look forward to, to.  The second hit is Saturday's Super Grand Prix, where only fifteen individual Grand Prix winners fought their way with their horses. The selection process is so tough that even the winner of the regular season, the British Olympic champion Ben Maher, did not make it to the finals.

For the fourth time, the absolute riding elite of world parkour is heading to Prague, and with them the best horses. Their prices are in the hundreds of millions of Czech crowns, and they are looked after accordingly. There is a security guard in front of the stables at the O2 arena, and there are luxury stables in the tents. There are carpets waiting for the horses, on which the stables will then place special dust-free sawdust. The stable manager then has to think about, among other things, that there are no horses close to each other that could cause problems. It goes without saying that the temperature is sufficient even for people in the living room.

The request from the Global Champions is that we have to heat ten degrees above the outside temperature. With the fact that it has its limit. The maximum temperature in the stable should not exceed eighteen, nineteen degrees.
