Tokyo Olympics devalues the comp scene also in 2020

Here is the IFSC competition schedule for 2020 which has been adjusted to fit the Olympics in Sport Climbing between 4 - 8 of August. Most certain, the World Cup 2020 will be a unique opportunity, for the guys not making it to Tokyo, to get a very good result. It can be expected that none of the Olympic athletes will participate in all World Cup. Any European coach could tell their athletes to skip all outside Europe. On the other hand, all 20 males and females will probably go to Innsbruck, Villars and Chamonix to prepare for Tokyo. The competition with the least of the best present will most likely be Vail in the USA, as it also was this year.
