Everything You Need to Know | Olympic Climbing at Paris 2024
For everything you need to know about sport climbing at the Summer Olympic Games of Paris 2024, look no further than this video. 🥇
We explain the new and improved event format, highlight the main stories and athletes to watch for and look at the scoring system and event schedule. 🏆
Sport climbing made its Olympic debut in Tokyo 2020, where its three main disciplines - bouldering, lead climbing and speed climbing - were combined into one event with one medal for men and one for women. At Paris 2024, bouldering and lead climbing will be featured in a combined event and speed climbing will be its own separate event.
🔹 In the women’s combined event all eyes will be on Slovenian super star Janja Garnbret to defend her gold medal. Janja has been untouchable in competitive climbing for years now, so she’ll be tough to beat if she manages to find her usual form.
🔹 On the men’s side, it was surprising that no Japanese climbers made the podium in Tokyo 2020, so we’ll be looking at Tomoa Narasaki and Soratu Anraku to show the Olympic audience that Japan is climbing’s super star nation, while Olympic champion Alberto Gines Lopez tries to go back to back.
🔹 In speed climbing we hope to see the Olympic record fall, since this time around the selection of speed climbers is a selection of specialists.

Why Climbing Grades Feel So Different Indoors vs Outdoors
zhlédnutí 6KPřed měsícem
Ever wondered why a climbing grade can feel drastically different from one location to another? In this video, we dive deep into the "Climbing Grade Paradox" by comparing my struggles with a 5c in Fontainebleau to the ease of climbing the same grade at Rhino Boulder Gym in Ghent. We'll explore three main theories: the unique challenges of natural rock, the subjectivity of grading, and environme...

    I hope Mori Ai does well, though she never seems to dyno, and that is a much needed skill. But Janja will win unless she becomes injured in the next month, becomes sick or just has a foot slip or something like that. The men side is totally open. Good luck to all.

    Couple of corrections - Oriane Bertone grew up in Réunion, not Fontainebleau. That's where she trains with the French team and where her coach lives. - French climber Zélia Avezou also qualified for the women's combined event at Paris 2024. - Aleksandra Miroslaw's record stands at 6.84 seconds instead of 6.97 seconds as of the date of the video. - In the schedule overview, August 9th should say men boulder & lead final instead of semi-final.

    I don't get all the Ondra hype, competitivly he was never very dominant. Megos is a name, but germany is not good at competitions (but i like Hannah Meul). The female competitions are always more exciting for me since the field is very divers and has lots of very good athletes. Mens competitions are somehow not so exciting, i like the japanese and schubert but i feel the overall level is not as high. Thx 4 the breakdown btw :)

    Ive been wondering, why do climbing never actually got its big break and become popular, like swimming, running, tennis, cycling etc? Sure there were a few trendy moments here and there but it never really got off, you dont see household names like M.Phelps, or Usain Bolt, Lewis etc despite also being a power/endurance sport heck im sure even badminton is more popular.

    1) Jakob 2) Sorato 3) Alberto HM: Tomoa Scoring is somewhat favorable to dominant lead climbers, where a in-form Alberto seems a step ahead of anyone but Jakob. 1) Janja 2) Grossman 3) Mori HM: Oriane No surprises here... Perfectly possible Grossman tops every boulder and loses anyway.

    kinda weird that your script formatting makes oriane seems like a sidenote strong athlete from france and sorato is just this good japanese climber with something to prove (which he is). one is someone who actually beat Janja once, and the other is the upcoming young super rookie with the most hype right now (not saying he's definitely the best, just most hyped atm).

      The field is really stacked so I think there's a lot of different ways to frame things that can make sense. I mainly wanted to highlight the French male and female climbers individually since France is hosting the Olympics. I should've shouted out Zélia Avezou to be honest in retrospect! Probably forgot to update my script after qualis. If the games were in another country, the French team would've probably been part of the phrase about dominant climbing countries ;) I'd never dream of disrespecting Japanese climbers so that's why I put them up front. Go Sorato!
