SERBIA May 14 – 15 2008;
I flew to Belgrade for Bouldering World Cup on May 14 – 19 2008. when we arrived to Belgrade Airport we heard about the cancellation of competition. We arrived to competition area and we learned the cancellation from the authorized persons.
All those trainings, difficulties I had and the request for competing; have become dreams in my mind…
The Competition of Serbia Climbing Federation on May 16 and 17 2008
On the first day of competition the qualification tour and the second day the final tour were performed. For each tour there were four different blocks and four different routes on these blocks. In this competition, there were countries like Serbia, Ukraine, Rumania, Macedonia and Turkey and the route setter of this competition was Vladimir Troposki. I hoped that I would join a competition that competitors were all around the world, but I joined this small competition with the competitors from those countries. There were 22 competitors totally and my team mate Serkan Ercan came first and I was second in this competition.
Except from the competition we walked around the city and we trained on the climbing wall in the city centre.
The cancellation of World Cup saddened me so much but the nice time we experienced and the new friendship we got is very nice.
I’m very thankful for the support of Serkan Ercan the owner of 9+ outdoor sports store Bozkurt Işıklı.
