SILKE SOLLFRANK
JUST GIVE IT A TRY
She is an indispensable figure in the German parkour pro scene. Silke Sollfrank promotes her sport on social media, in various TV formats, and at numerous national and international parkour events.
PERSONALITY OVER PERFORMANCE
In addition to her athletic talent, she stands out with her positive energy, promoting "personality over performance" and advocating for accepting and working with one's mistakes as a part of oneself.
"Never compare yourself too much with others. Everyone has to walk their path to look back with pride on their achievements."
- Silke Sollfrank
INSPIRED BY COOL MOVES
Ten years ago, Silke attended her first parkour training session and knew, after just that one session, that she had found her sport. Pursuing a career as a sports teacher was the next step, aiming to pass on her passion for parkour and reassure her parents that she would be financially secure. Silke also uses her workshops to encourage others to experiment and get creative. She draws inspiration for her runs via social media from all sports. "There are cool moves everywhere; they only need to be adapted to parkour."
SILKE, WHAT DOES FREEDOM MEAN TO YOU?
Freedom always stays with you, and you can do what you want. Freedom means independently deciding what happens to you and which path you take.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SPOT FOR AN EXCELLENT PARKOUR SESSION?
The Olympic Centre in Munich is the most incredible spot in the world! I've been to and tested spots worldwide, but this place in my home country is simply perfect for parkour. The Brutalist architectural style adds a lot, and it's just fun!
