  • Competitive Climbing - Overview Competitive Climbing Is an Indoor Competitive Sport Where the Players Need to Climb the Artificial Walls
    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Competitive Climbing - Overview Competitive climbing is an indoor competitive sport where the players need to climb the artificial walls. There are three different categories in this sport which are lead, speed and bouldering. The rules and strategies vary based on the sport type. With a wide popularity worldwide, this game was also considered to be included in Olympic games in 2013. History of Competitive Climbing Competitive climbing was initially originated at Soviet Union where the sport was mostly focused on speed climbing. In 1985, a group of best climbers gathered at Bardonecchia, Italy in an event called SportRoccia and it was the first lead climbing competition. In 1986, the French Federation organized the first indoor competitive climbing event at Vaulx-en-Velin, Lyon. Slowly the sport started getting worldwide recognition and in 1988, the first Competitive Climbing World Series was organized. In 1989, the first Competitive Climbing World Cup in Lead and Speed was organized. Around the 1990s, many large events in countries like Europe, Japan and US were organized and the competitions started using artificial walls in order to avoid negative environmental impact. THANKS FOR READING – VISIT OUR WEBSITE www.educatererindia.com COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 In 1991, the first world championship was held in Frankfurt, Germany. In 1998, Bouldering was introduced as another competitive climbing discipline and in 1999, the first Bouldering World Cup was held. In January, 2007, 45 country federations together found the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC).

    FREE THE HATERS PDF Jesse Andrews | 336 pages | 05 Apr 2016 | Harry N. Abrams | 9781419720789 | English | United States The Haters by Jesse Andrews In quiet voices, peeking over their shoulders to make sure no one is listening, they give me the low-down: Haters United, a private Facebook chat, is the secret sauce for these guys and a handful of their international climbing friend-competitors. Before this season, some of the members—the Korean climber Jongwon Chon and the German Jan Hojer—were already top commodities, but Kruder, Khazanov, Vezonik, and the two other members, the Italians Gabriele Moroni and Michael Piccolruaz—had middling or up-and-down success on the World Cup circuit. But several months later, Khazanov agrees to divulge. Everyone hit the like button. They were game. Khazanov, 24, and Vezonik, 24, had become friendly on the youth competition circuit years earlier. Moroni, 32, and Khazanov met on the adult World Cup circuit. Kruder later heard about the Facebook group from Vezi aka Vezonik and wanted in. The guys began using their private virtual forum to, what else, stay in touch, send GIFs and vids, and trash-talk. Soon Hojer and Chon were members, too. The Haters had never podiumed. But by the end of the season, each had collected a gold. Vezonik also finished third at the World Championships, catapulting his world ranking to fifth. The other Haters also crushed. Kruder, 29, was overall The Haters of the Bouldering World Cup. Hojer, 27, took bronze in the The Haters event at the World Championships in Innsbruck.
