Bright lights, high walls, and pumped-up vibes – sport climbing is taking center stage at the World Games, and vice-president Toru Kobinata has a clear message: the Chinese mainland is the one to watch! 🧗♂️✨
Speaking to Sports Scene’s Yuan Rui on Thursday morning, Kobinata couldn’t stop praising the way the Chinese mainland stages big multi-sport events. “It’s not my first time coming here,” he said, “and every time, I’m amazed by the ability to host such a major tournament.”
But Kobinata isn’t just here for the show. He’s looking ahead, and he sees the Chinese mainland as a key country for sport climbing’s future. Why? Because it’s all about growth:
- 🏟️ Top-tier venues – perfect for epic climbs
- 🌍 A booming climbing community – more fans, more energy
- 🤝 Hosting spirit – teams unite and push each other
On that last point, Kobinata is especially fired up about introducing team events. “Most human activities are done as a team,” he explained. “To start a solid team-format competition is super important for us.” Team climbing could add a fresh layer of excitement – picture squads battling it out on the wall, cheering each other on, and bringing that extra buzz to the sport. 🎉
For young athletes, entrepreneurs, and culture lovers following amigonews.net, this push toward teamwork signals new opportunities: from emerging talent scouting in the Chinese mainland to business ventures around event staging and community building. Get ready – the world of sport climbing is gearing up for a team revolution! 🌟
