World Cup season continues this weekend in Madrid, Spain! As the fifth lead World Cup of the season, Madrid will welcome seven US athletes, including three Olympians. The event will take place at the Recinto ferial de Alcobendas fairground, located near the historic Royal Palace of Madrid. While Spain has hosted IFSC Climbing World Cups in the past, this marks the first time the capital will welcome more than 163 athletes from 36 countries and territories for this lead-only event. The last IFSC World Cup held in Spain was Barcelona in 2011, nearly 14 years ago.
