It's done! At the Olympic Games 2020 in Tokyo, for the first time there will be climbing competitions for medals. This huge opportunity for the climbing industry casts its shadow a year earlier at the OutDoor by ISPO.
Olympic climbing will also be a topic at the Indoor Climbing Hub in Hall A6. High-profile representatives of both the IOC and the International Sports Climbing Federation IFSC, as well as athletes and coaches, will take part in a panel discussion to answer critical questions about the Olympic development in climbing. After all, the next decisions are already due in June: Then the IOC will decide whether climbing will remain an Olympic sport at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
You will find a detailed overview of the schedule in our event calendar.
In addition, experts will give the industry exclusive "Climbing Gym Insights" with precise figures and topics that move the industry:
- How is the market developing?
