2024 IFSC competition calendar announced

IFSC has presented the competition calendar 2024, which differs from all previous years due to the Olympics. The calendar comprises of five Boulder and six Lead World Cups but there is a big risk that the interest will be relatively low from the best athletes. The two events scheduled that will likely attract the largest number of top athletes participating are the Olympic Qualification Series events in Shanghai and Budapest.

9-10 April, IFSC World Cup in Shanghai, China โ€“ Boulder;
12 -14 April, IFSC World Cup in Wujiang, China โ€“ Lead, Speed;
