Athletes Head to France for the IFSC Combined Qualifiers

After a long IFSC World Cup 2019 series, the final list of athletes for the next round of Olympic qualifications has been determined. 

As Tokyo 2020 approaches, the IFSC prepares to hold the second Olympic Qualifying Event for Sport Climbing’s first appearance in the Olympic Games. Following the IFSC World Cup 2019, the top 22 athletes of each gender in the Combined Ranking, not already qualified for the Olympics, were invited to participate in the IFSC Combined Qualifier.

The competition will be held from 28 November to 1 December at the Espace Sportif des Quefets in Tournefeuille, France, just outside of the city of Toulouse. The qualification rounds will be held during the first two days of the event, followed by two days of finals.

After the last Olympic Qualifying Event in Hachioji, eight athletes per gender have already earned a quota place for the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games. The four days of competition in Toulouse will grant quota places to an additional six athletes per gender.

The schedule, starting list and information sheet for the upcoming IFSC Combined Qualifier can be found on the official event page on the IFSC website. More information about the Olympic Qualification System and the qualified athletes can be found here.
