World climbing championship

The world climbing championship is the most important climbing competition in the world and has been held every two years at different locations since 1991. The IFSC has been the organizer since 2005 , before that the UIAA was responsible for the organization. The reigning world and continental champions (European champions etc.) as well as five participants per nation who are nominated by the national associations (e.g. German Alpine Club , Swiss Alpine Club ) are entitled to start.

The 2011 World Cup took place from July 15 to 24, 2011 in Arco , the venue for the Rockmaster . For the first time, a paraclimbing world championship for people with disabilities was held (July 16-19, 2011). The bouldering competitions were won by the Austrian Anna Stöhr and the Russian Dmitry Sharafutdinov. For Germany there was the first World Cup medal in 14 years: Juliane Wurm from Wuppertal won bronze in bouldering. In the lead, the Spaniard Ramón Julián Puigblanque and, for the third time, the Austrian Angela Eiter won . The speed climbing titles went to Maria Krasavina (Russia) and Qixin Zhong (China).

In 2012, the World Cup took place outside the biennial cycle, from September 12 to 16 at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in Paris . In 2014 the world championship was divided into two venues, the competitions in difficulty climbing, speed and paraclimbing took place in Gijón (Spain), the bouldering competition in Munich .

Remarks

1. ↑ ^{a b} The length of the route climbed in the speed competitions has been a uniform 15 m since 2005. Before that, the routes varied in length depending on the venue. In 2009 the competition was held on both 10 and 15 m, which resulted in two world champions this year for women and men.
