Prague’s Climbing World Cup to feature best of Czech climbers, including Adam Ondra

June’s IFSC Climbing World Cup, that is set to take place on Prague’s Letná plain, will feature Czechia’s best climbers, including four-time world champion Adam Ondra, the head of the Czech Mountaineering Association, Jan Bloudek, said at a press conference on Wednesday. He said that preparations for the tournament have been in full swing for over half a year already. The full list of foreign contestants is not yet known, but organisers expect it will feature major stars as well.

The last time that Czechia hosted the competition was in 2009 in Brno. However, last year the country was the venue of the IFSC Europe Cup in 2022, which Bloudek says was a great success and helped Prague secure this year’s competition.
