Imphal, July 12 2019:
Manipur's Maibam Chingkheinganba and Thokchom Boynao Singh have been selected for participation at the IFSC World Championship (Combined) to be held from August 11 to 22 at Hachioji Japan and World Youth Championship in Arco, Italy which will be held from August 22 to 31 this year, said a statement of Manipur Sports Climbing Association (MASCA) .
Although they have been selected for the said competitions there is a huge concern as there is no financial support from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation and all the expenditure for participation will have to be born by the participants themselves, conveyed the association.
The association while maintaining that they now has the sole responsibility to send them to the world events, sought financial supports from the people and all sports lovers of the State to facilitate the two young future climbers.
