StoryNew Prague Round in 2026 World Climbing Series Highlights Regional Relevance
The World Climbing Series, formerly known as the IFSC Climbing World Cup, launched on May 1, 2026, and will feature a prestigious stop in Prague this June. This marks the first edition since the International Federation of Sport Climbing renamed itself World Climbing in December 2025 (en.wikipedia.org). The event will include competitions in bouldering, lead, and speed disciplines, drawing athletes and spectators alike to the Czech capital (en.wikipedia.org). Skialpin klub HS Orlické hory, based in Ústí nad Orlicí, benefits from the heightened regional attention on climbing, as the elite event in Prague may inspire increased interest and opportunities in climbing activities across the Královéhradecký Region.
