3500 climbing fans celebrate the world’s best bouldering athletes at Stuttgart’s Porsche-Arena
Stuttgart - This weekend the who’s who of the international climbing community gathered for a veritable climbing rock show at the modern Porsche-Arena in Germany. 60 athletes from 23 different countries, including World Champions, European Champions and World Cup winners, met at the adidas ROCKSTARS boulder invitational to compete on a giant stage, accompanied by intoxicating music performances.
Within 10 days the Porsche-Arena was turned into a climbing arena. With very selective boulders the field was cut down in two rounds to 6 men and 6 women. 3,500 enthusiastic spectators came to celebrate the twelve finalists from eight different countries on Saturday evening. Pumped up by punkrock band Orange but Green, the Urban Dance Crew Fothamockaz and extreme sports DJs Chainsaw and Sungod, the athletes pushed the envelope. Their gravity-defying, powerful and dynamic moves enthused the crowds.
