Back to News Voting is now open for The World Games Athlete of the Year award! Our own Emma Hunt has been nominated as the Sport Climbing representative, after an amazing year of podium finishes at the IFSC World Cup Villars, the IFSC World Championships Bern, and the Pan American Games, as well as four new personal bests. Her performance at the IFSC World Championships Bern secured her spot at the Paris 2024 Olympics, making her the first-ever athlete to qualify for the Olympics in the Speed Climbing discipline. You’ll be able to vote for Emma once every 24 hours. On January 22, only the 10 athletes with the most votes will continue to the next round of voting, where their votes will be reset.
