The IFSC is about to launch its first podcast, with the inaugural episode going live on Facebook and YouTube on Thursday, 15 February, and featuring Tokyo 2020 Olympian Sean McColl of Canada, and IFSC Host Matt Groom.

Named IFSC Lounge, the show will see athletes and other Climbing personalities connect from all over the world, addressing both the hottest topics of the moment, and the fondest memories of their career – on and off stage.

The first, inaugural episode will feature legendary Canadian climber Sean McColl –175 World Cup competition starts, four World Championships and 34 World Cup medals under his belt – and long-time IFSC Host Matt Groom.

The episode will then be made available on demand on Apple Podcast, Spotify, and Spreaker.
