BOULDERING

COMPETITIONS

HISTORY: Although climbing competitions began in the mid-1980s; one in Bardonecchia, Italy at an event called SportRoccia, held at a natural crag in Valle Stretta, where Stefan Glowacz was the winner; and the other was held on a ten-story wall at Snowbird, Utah (The First International Sport Climbing Competition), where the late Patrick Eldlinger won in spectacular style, bouldering competitions was not an official World Cup discipline until 1999.  Today, bouldering is included as one of the three climbing disciplines in the Summer Olympics, which debut in Tokyo, Japan in 2020, as one of the three combined disciplines. 

2023 Men's Boulder Final in Brixen the northeastern region of Italy, hosts the sixth event of the season in the Boulder discipline.
