The International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) is gearing up for the 2023 IFSC Climbing and Paraclimbing World Championship in Bern, Switzerland. On Wednesday, the organization officially launched their website for the event.
The World Championships, to be held August 1-12, 2023, will be the first qualifying event ahead of the Paris 2024 Games, where sport climbing will award two gold medals per gender in speed and boulder and lead classes.
“The IFSC Climbing and Paraclimbing World Championships are our flagship event, held every two years, but with tickets to Paris 2024 on the line, Bern 2023 promises to be extra special,” said IFSC president Marco Scolaris.
In addition to the website, dedicated social media profiles were launched on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and the IFSC’s official Facebook page.
“The World Championships in Bern are about promoting sport climbing for people with and without disabilities,” said Daniel Marbacher, the managing director of the Swiss Alpine Club Central Association. “We are committed to ensuring inclusion and sustainability are more than just empty words by putting them into action in every respect.”
“We welcome the entire climbing community back to Switzerland again after 22 years, and we look forward to kindling the first spark that will light the World Championships on fire.”
The website is in English, French and German and can be found at bern2023.org
