IFSC and UIAA Management Boards
We won. IFSC suspended Russian and Belarusian athletes and team officials from IFSC competitions.

It's a small fight and small victory. Please help Ukrainian people. They need it. Find organization, do something Yourself or make bank transfer for Ukraine’s Armed Forces.

An open letter to the IFSC and UIAA Boards,

On February 24, 2022 at 4:45 (local time), the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine, beginning the war in which soldiers and civilians are being killed.

As members of the climbing community, for whom freedom is one of the most important values, in full awareness of the urgent need to act, we, the undersigned, call on the IFSC and UIAA Boards to:

  • cancel the World Cup competition in Russia,
  • remove Russian athletes from international competition,
  • withhold organizations representing Russia in the UIAA (Russian Mountaineering Federation) and IFSC (Climbing Federation of Russia).

This is the least organizations representing the climbing community can do in the face of the violation of international law and the barbarity of the Russian authorities.
