BURSTThe first-ever IFSC World Cup Series event to take place in South America happens from May 16 to 18 in Curitiba, Brazil. It was the location of the South American Cup last December.
Several South American climbers will be competing this weekend, including Chile’s Ben Vargas and Brazil’s Anja Kohler, who both won gold at the South American Cup in 2024.
“In my opinion, it’s very important for the development and visibility of climbing in South America, because even though climbing is getting popular, not everybody knows there is a competition world circuit,” said Vargas in and IFSC press release. “And also, the people of the region can meet all the international athletes and hopefully get inspired.”
Other top climbers competing this weekend include Oriane Bertone, Toby Roberts, Anraku Sorato and Narasaki Meichi. We’ll have full results next week. Watch the semis and finals below – the link to women’s finals will be added once it’s live.
