Calisthenics WORLD CHAMPION Goes UNDERCOVER As A BEGINNER
At this year’s Miami Beach Pull-Up Jam those who showed up came to see and participate in an event that was on fire – and in usual Chris-style, he delivered! What they did not expect was 5 times world champion Tony Gaste coming to compete in MB Pull-Up Jam for the first time and going incognito as “Carlos Santana” complete with a wig and mustache. He blended in as a typical Miami tourist with zero experience in calisthenics - until the bars revealed the truth. Chris, known for pushing boundaries in the calisthenics world, orchestrated one of the most unforgettable moments in competition history. Fans and athletes alike had no idea that the “newbie” stepping up to the bars was actually one of the strongest athletes on the planet.
So just who the other competitors were? To name a few, there was Nico (2024 Miami Pull-Up Jam Winner), Ethan, Fabian, Andres, Elias, Bayron, Umberto, Pablete and others. The level was higher than ever, with competitors throwing down Single-arm handstands, Muscle-ups, Switchblades, and Dynamic bar combos.
As “Carlos Santana,” Tony delivered flawless static holds and explosive bar routines that had the crowd buzzing. When he finally revealed his identity, the beach erupted in disbelief and celebration. It was an amazing event and having athletes like Ethan return annually, inspire fans with their progression and proves why this event is becoming one of the biggest calisthenics competitions in the world. Thank you to Red Bull, every athlete, and every fan who made this year unforgettable. Without the community’s energy, none of this would be possible.
