No matter if you're an arm, leg or even both legs amputee, it doesn't matter if you're totally or partially blind, you've got a wheelchair, and so what? Climbing is for all and an event such as the 1st Paraclimbing World Championship has been a clear demonstration of how sport, and climbing in particular, is barrierless and able to unify and involve everyone.

“The Italian World event was another great step for sport climbing”, claimed IFSC Vice President Aleksandr Piratynski, “and these two championships here in Italy celebrated climbing as a unique discipline for all”.

The 11th Climbing World Championship continues tomorrow at 3pm with the Lead Female Qualification Round. Austria's Eiter, Ernst and Stöhr (Boulder Gold a few days ago), Russia's Bibik and Malamid, South Korea's Kim, France's Ciavaldini and Dufraisse, Digiulian and Johnson of the US, Japan's Kobayashi, Slolvenia's Markovic, Gros and Vidmar, and Italy's Avoscan, Valsecchi and Lavarda are among the strongest athletes of the respective teams.
