Russians ruled out of IFSC comp participation until at least June
On Wednesday, the IFSC board decided to postpone the decision, on whether Russians will be allowed to compete in IFSC events, until June. This was announced at the IFSC general assembly in Singapore today. In practice, this means that the only path for the Russians to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympics will be through the World and the European Championships. In the IFSC meeting, safety and organisation concerns were mentioned by hosting federations.
In order to qualify for the Olympic series in 2024, you have to do at least one WC in each discipline and the last Boulder WC in 2023 Innsbruck plays host to on June, 14th.
The IOC also announced this Thursday that their decision on whether Russian athletes will be allowed to take part in Paris will have to wait a couple of months.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
