Following the Christmas' events on the climbing wall of Noumea, alternative dates (September 20th-24 th) are considered for the IFSC World Youth Championships.
IFSC President Marco Maria Scolaris has another announcement for the climbing community:
"The Olympic Dream ended and we woke up in Nanjing, China, where in August the IFSC will showcase the sport of climbing as a demonstration event at the Summer Youth Olympic Games. It's another hold that is reached, higher up in the direction of the Games. Moreover, a fantastic season is waiting for our athletes all around the globe, from New Caledonia to Colorado, from the Far East to old Europe and its World Championships. All this is the evidence that we are on the right track and that the sport is growing, hold by hold, and moving to new heights."
Natural, spontaneous, spectacular, in the air… No tools, just hands and feet. This is the sport of climbing that you will experience on every smartphone, tablet, PC all along the 2014 season.
