The IFSC Climbing World Championships Seoul 2025 are in full swing, and our Gripstone EU ambassadors are making waves. Lets have a look at what our insane ambassadors have been able to cook up at this prestigious event:
Lukáš Mokroluský: Into Semi-Finals from 17th Place!
Lukáš Mokroluský, our boulder beast and Tokyo Powder devotee (using 3 times as much chalk as our other ambassadors lol), is storming into the men's bouldering semifinals with two massive tops straight into 17th place in quals. That's not just qualifying—it's a massive achievement in a stacked field.
Lukáš told us that he was looking forward to competing and for the special Seoul atmosphere, fighting jet lag and warmer conditions. His secret against the heat and humidity was Tokyo Powder RX, available on our E-shop!
Mark your calendars: Cheer on Luky in the bouldering semifinals this Sunday, September 28th, at 10:00 AM KST (that's 1:00 AM UTC for us night owls). Tune in via the IFSC YouTube stream.
Tereza Širůčková on the Lead Routes: A Stellar 35th against the worlds best
Placing 35th on the biggest world stage is no small feet. Tereza Širůčková managed to place 24th in the first qualifying route, proving her calibre. In a tough, low percentage and daunting round, this is something that deserves some proper congratulations, despite possible feelings of rustration of not leaving everything on the wall. Really well done!
Aside from her countless hours training, Tokyo React spray along with the Super B and the RX chalk was the weapon of choice for her solid performace on the day.
Sára Šimeková: Battle for 49th place
Rounding our ambassadors performances, Sára Šimeková clocked in at 49th in the women's lead event— congrats! Fresh from the European youth champs a few weeks ago in Slovakia where she placed an impressive 15th, she had the opportunity to try out the biggest leagues yesterday, and her result is a great testament to her efforts and what she can accomplish in the future.
Accompanying Sára in Seoul was the Tokyo Powder Super B chalk with some V3 and RX. Go grab some from our E-shop and let us know your thoughts!
