"He was a great climber, he was a great friend,” said IFSC President Marco Scolaris.
IFSC and President Marco Scolaris mourn the loss of Italian climber and coach of the Italian national team Cristian Brenna, who tragically lost his life in a mountaineering accident in Arco, Italy. Brenna leaves behind his wife Jana, his son Filippo, and his daughter Sofia, who won the U17 Lead Italian Championship just a few days ago.
President Scolaris said: “I can’t find the words... I have images coming to my mind of the countless days spent together at events, when he was competing for Italy and I was FASI Sport Manager. And also of those days on the rocks, to illustrate his glory days. He was a great person, someone everybody loved, he was a great climber, he was a great friend.”
