IFSC Climbing World Championships
The IFSC Climbing World Championships are the biennial world championships for competition climbing organized by the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC). This event determines the male and female world champions in the three disciplines of sport climbing: lead climbing, bouldering and speed climbing.
The first event was organized in Frankfurt in 1991.
History
In 1991, the UIAA (Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme) organized the first climbing championships with only two disciplines: lead and speed. The International Council for Competition Climbing (ICC) was created in 1997 as an internal body of the UIAA to take charge of competitions.[1]
A new discipline was introduced in the 2001 world championship: bouldering. In 2007, the independent IFSC was created as a continuation of the ICC to govern Competition Climbing.
In 2012 the World Championships were shifted to even years with a double interest: avoiding interference with the 2013 World Games climbing event and giving a supplementary opportunity to demonstrate the sport for a possible integration into the 2020 Olympic Games.
