Ondra, Schubert and Ghisoli skip upcoming WCs

Adam Ondra, Jakob Schubert and Stefano Ghisolfi report on Instagram that they are in Flatanger in Norway at the same time, the following two weekends, there are Lead World Cups in Koper in Slovenia and Edinburgh in the UK. Other big names that will miss at least one of the WC events are, Sean Bailay, Alex Megos, Will Bosi, Colin Duffy and Tomoa Narasaki. Some of the athletes have explained that the reason for this is that there will be two intensive years coming up starting with the Olympic qualifications in 2023.

The qualification in Koper starts at 9.00 on Friday and then the semifinal at 20.00 will be live-streamed at Discovery +. The men's final starts at 20.00 on Saturday and is followed by the women's final.
