Athletes start to arrive in Barcelona

The stars of the X Games Barcelona come to the city today to prepare for the great event which will take place from the 16th to the 19th of May

There is less time left for the start of the X Games Barcelona and it’s expected that the vast majority of the athletes will be arriving during this day in Barcelona. Throughout these days prior to competition, athletes will have the opportunity to train and test the facilities so they can start getting used to them. In fact, some are already in the city enjoying the spectacular views and taking some time relaxing before the start of the X Games which will be full of excitement and adrenaline.

Athletes like Tanner Foust, Pierre-Luc Gagnon, Jamie Bestwick, Karen Jonz, Nate Adams o Laia Sanz have already expressed their desire to enjoy and amaze the Catalan public with their impressive abilities that have been seen in the whole world. Today Edgar Torronteras, one of our Spanish athletes, has walked around the facilities that host this X Games Barcelona.

These are the athletes who have moved to the Calatrava Tower to register for the X Games Barcelona: Lizzie Armanto, Simone Barraco, Allysha Bergado, Vince Byron, Rony Gomes, Ben Hatchell, Chase Hawk, Karen Jonz, Mimi Knoop, Kevin Kowalski, Andy McDonald, Diego Navarro, Italo Peñarrubia, Colton Saterfield, Tom Schaar, Silva Serret, Edgar Torronteras and Trey Wood.
