Welcome to the Éire agus Calisthenics Podcast! This episode we are chatting with Edgars Jankovskis, a multi-discipline calisthenics athlete!
Edgars is one of the few athletes to represent Ireland in multiple categories, and has placed second in the world in International Streetlifting Federation World Chammpions (2025). He has also represented Ireland in Power at the WSWCF World Championships, and was part of the 3 Nations Team Ireland.
He also started in freestyle and eventually moved in to these different disciplines. Edgars family are originally from Latvia, and it was fascinating to discuss his background and insights to how sport acted as a way of inclusion, and his connection to both countries.
Have a listen and enjoy!
