The International Sport Climbing Federation IFSC has been criticized for its inaction on eating disorders and RED-S. We had an exclusive conversation with the president of the association, Marco Scolaris.

Does our climbing sport have a problem? When will binding rules to protect athletes be introduced? What says Scolaris to criticize the association? We confronted the IFSC President with these and other questions.

In our broadcast three weeks ago we published individual statements from Scolaris and the critics. With this video we are publishing the full-length interview with Marco Maria Scolaris.
