It seems the IFSC has (for now) said they will offer free streaming of the IFSCWC this weekend!

Great news however its a shame this ever happened in the first place.
Really with any sort of discussion with the climbing community saying, “Hey, we need some cash in order to run these events and keep it economically viable for us, but also so it is available for you. We are thinking about charging (insert nominal, sensible fee) for the live stream and then after the event the comp will be free to watch.”
“p.s. we will give you a good period notice and not surprise you with it two days before..."
