Coxsey: The World Cup is not fun

Shauna Coxsey, #2 in the Boulder World Cup 2014, has written a summary blog about the second half of the season and it seems she was not happy with all the travelling competing in Canada, USA, China and France in just four weeks. The theme for all this is waiting... "I wouldn’t say doing a World cup circuit is fun. It’s enjoyable at times but it can also be tiring, frustrating, disheartening and stressful. After all we train for weeks, months, years to just try and climb a few boulder problems." In 2014, a record low of just 4 male and female did choose to do all eight events and the next year, the competing schedule is almost identical where the athletes have to travel to China two times. (c) Eddie Fowke from The Circuit Climbing who has covered seven out of eight events, has said, "The schedule is a joke"
