News European Championships Munich - Sport Climbing Report

IFSC commentator Matt Groom reports from a busy ten days of competition at the European Championships in Munich, a multi-sport event covered by the BBC and international broadcasters, with a focus on the main attraction showcasing a new format: the Olympic Combined final. Climbing was back on the biggest multi-sport stage since the Olympics and it had a point to prove: that it deserved a place on a stage this big. Put simply, it was time to step things up. The climbing arena was in the centre of Munich and seemed to draw crowds. The number of spectators only increased each day as word spread about the sport.
