IFSC President Marco Scolaris said:
"This calendar inspires us, despite of uncomfortable and unusual conditions that we meet every day: there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and we must focus on it. Uncertainty still reigns in our world, but we are already looking forward to next season, and so are our event organisers. There are eight months still to go and we all have to do our part to overcome the pandemic. Stay safe and protect others."
