Sport Climbing, IFSC Olympic Qualification Event

 

The IFSC Executive Board elected the city that will host the Olympic Qualifying event in 2019 ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Among four strong candidates (Chongqing, Los Angeles, Moscow and Toulouse) the Board chose the French city of Toulouse.

The “Federation Francaise de la Montagne et de l’Escalade” (FFME) presented a very detailed dossier, based on its experience in organising international events.
A special recognition goes to the other candidates: CFR, CMA and USAC.

I assume South Africa is the best climbing nation in Africa... But are there any other nations? South Africa may likely reject the continental spots.

South Africa is actually the only African Nation with a proper Sport Climbing Federation (even if their athletes never show up at world cup events nor got in the past any relevant result)...

this is the current situation:

https://www.ifsc-climbing.org/index.php/about-ifsc/ifsc-structure/members-federations

which means that the African and Oceanian qualification events are basically a farce...

unless...unless some French climber with African heritage (and there are some more than decent, if not really good) decides to opt for plan B and get a safe spot for the Olympics through his/her family ties...

maybe someone at the IFSC should go back to school and study some geography...

p.s. to be honest, i didn't notice that epic fail when I posted the link...I must have enjoyed too much (South African*) wine at lunch...

 

*p.s. and trust me, they have a lot of very good wine in SAF...
