Handisport
Today, paraclimbing involves two disciplines : speed and lead, with athletes competing in 8 categories. Internationally, Italy Japan and Russia have the honours of being the best organised nations for paraclimbing.
France is rapidly catching up. Philippe Ribière's bronze medal, the only French handicapped athlete to take part in the previous World Championships, will obviously have raised its profile.
The FFME has undertaken, for these second World Paraclimbing championships, which will run in parallel to the Bercy World Climbing Championships, to put forward a complete French 'handiclimbing' team!
