Climbingcompetition

The IFSC has announced that the IFSC Speed ​​World Cup in Klagenfurt, which was scheduled to take place in July, had to be removed from the calendar due to the withdrawal of a sponsor.

The IFSC is now looking for an alternative venue in another city in order to still be able to hold the sixth and final Speed ​​World Cup of the 2025 season.

The IFSC World Cup Innsbruck 2025 – which includes the disciplines of bouldering, lead and paraclimbing – is not affected by the cancellation.
