The IFSC Boulder schedule is a joke!

"The schedule is a joke", Eddie Fowke comments the sad fact that only half of the male Top-12 in the Boulder WC ranking will participate in the China WC the coming weekens. It is a bit better for the female but in fact only a total of 20 non-Asians are schedule to start. "A second trip to China means more Visa's, more expense and more travelling! I for one can't afford to go and it's the same for a lot of the athletes. I don't know why they didn't try to run the 2 China comps back to back like they did with the North American rounds..." Eddie is running TheCircuitClimbing.com" and he is together with onbouldering.com the only journalist that travels together with the athletes.
