The competition is run by Calisthenics UAE founder Stephen Hughes-Landers and will feature some of the best freestyle athletes in the world, including last year’s winner Miguel Alejandro Mayorga of Chile.

In 2015, Miguel sold his car to raise money to compete in the UAE and will return to defend his title alongside a star-studded line-up at the Dubai International Marine Club.

The winner of the event will qualify for the super final in Beijing.
