The World Games Chengdu 2025
The 12th edition of The World Games is expected to take place in the Chinese city of Chengdu, capital city of the province of Sichuan, from 7 to 17 August 2025. Thirty-five sports are going to be part of the programme of Chengdu 2025, with Climbing being featured for the sixth consecutive edition of the multi-sport event.
EVENTS
Differently from all previous Climbing appearances at The World Games, Chengdu 2025 will only feature events in the Speed discipline – two individual ones and one relay.
