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...

im rooting for toby roberts, didnt know much about him until i watched his videos. seems like a disciplined and methodical young competitor.
My gym used to be Jesse Grupper’s home gym
I think Janja will definitely win for woman’s boulder/lead, while Natalia grossman will make the podium. For men, it guessing that Sorato will get gold with Toby Roberts making the podium
Janja and Brooke <3
Brooke I've watched for years so i'm definitely rooting for her! but I'd love Miho, or even Erin to swoop in and grab a medal as well!
I'm rooting for Janja Garnbret, Brooke Raboutou and Oriane Bertone
Very nicely done with this video! Informative and thoroughly enjoyable to watch 👍🏻👍🏻 I’m most excited to cheer on Brooke Raboutou, Colin Duffy and the other U.S. athletes… but at the same time, there are so manu great athletes from around the world to cheer for!
Thanks August! Love your stuff. The US is going down!!! 🙃 We are obviously all-in for Hannes! 🇧🇪
@@walrusclimbing I appreciate that! Haha and I’m all in for a friendly rivalry 😁 Team USA all the way for me 🇺🇸 And it’s permissible to cheer for Adam Ondra no matter which country you’re from 😄
@@augustclimbing Let's reconvene here in August
@@walrusclimbing sounds perfect! 😁
Janja! 🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮
😍😍😍
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.
I agree. Ai often seems to find an alternative solution though, which makes watching her perform so interesting. I hope she'll get the opportunity to showcase her ability and doesn't get ruled out because of a size-difference like in Innsbruck...
definitely not the recent Innsbruck women's semi finals, ai mori boulder 1 was horrendous
Yeah that was painful to watch 😔
She never tried to start with her foot on the starting hold and only tried to jump so I guess that's still the setter's fault?
Hope your channel blows up soon! 🛫
Female athletes are competing for the silver, we all know who’s gonna get gold I hope Moroni or Rogora takes the podium
Zach Hammer trained at my gym for the longest time, kinda surreal to see him competing at the Olympics
I am rooting for the routesetters cuz they have to cook to perfection
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.
Really nice structured an edited content ! I think you forgot zelia avezou btw 😊
Yessss indeed! I forgot to add her when the qualifiers were done 😮
Small question about the speed olympic record for women the subtitles say 6.84 but you said 6.97 , so I wanted to ask which one is true
The subtitles are correct! I found out my mistake after recording. Aleksandra Miroslaw climbed the record (6.84) in the qualifiers in Rome and 6.97 was her time in the finals to qualify.
Could you also do this next year for the qualifications?
Do you mean in four years at the next Olympics? Sure!
@@walrusclimbing yesss, because I dont understand it
Mark my words dohyun Lee takes home the gold this olympics
I'll grant him silver after Hannes Van Duysen 😇 That's the best I can do!
I’m rooting for him as well!
Would've been really helpful to know HOW best to watch it. Especially on replay, without seeing the results beforehand
The Qualifiers were streamed live on Olympics.com but I can't seem to find definitive information on whether they'll stream the actual olympic events there as well, which is why I didn't include it. The app is your easiest option for replays!
@@walrusclimbing thanks for the info! 🙏
Indonesian pride here! 🇮🇩 Thanks for including our country in your video :)
Damn I love Indonesia!
Miho Nonaka all the way 💘💘💘 it’s so fun to watch her climb with such power and grace PLUS her hair and makeup always slay 💯
She's fire! Will she beat Janja?
@@walrusclimbingwe will have to see! Janja is fire tho
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 :)
Glad you enjoyed the video! Ondra is the GOAT though! He's like the spiritual leader of the climbing community. Raw talent, extreme dedication and an amazing career of hard sends outside and closets full of medals. People will always be rooting for him
@@walrusclimbing Yeah definitly, i am only following ISFC Championships and not much else regarding climbing so i guess my opinion is pretty narrow minded :)
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.
Been booming a lot the past years! Lifestyle sports with an outdoor aspect are better off staying a little under the rader though in my opinion!
Everything you need to know, no one beats Janja
No doubt!
Dang, it's time to stay late up...
Where will you be watching from?
still confused about scoring system. hopefully there will be a dedicated video for it. with examples would be the best.
Yeah, it's not the easiest to follow but once you've seen a comp using it, it becomes quite clear!
This is the video i needed. Clear, concise. Great work mate. Thank you.
You’re welcome! Thanks for leaving a comment 🔥
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.
Let’s also split up the combined event in 2028! 🤓
@@walrusclimbingit's only fair!
My guess would be Jakob, Toby, Avezou, Sorato | Janja, Raboutou, Oriane, Grossman
Great Video ! I I'd like to make a correction concerning Orianne Bertonne. She grew in la Réunion, a french overseas department, that's where she did her first v13/24 at the age of 12. Nonetheless the content of your video is great ;)
Someone pointed it out indeed! I had no idea 😇 Thanks for watching closely!
@@walrusclimbing hahaha i'm sure he was french too ^^ no problem, It doesn't change the quality of the content ;)
My predictions: 1. Janja (bold choice i know) 2. Natalia 3. Seo Men: 1. Jakob 2. Sorato 3. Toby
Solid podiums! 🔥
Just a question, in minute 8:21 that it shows the Olympic Climbing Schedule, at Friday 9, it would be "MEN BOULDER & LEAD FINAL instead "MEN BOULDER & LEAD SEMI-FINAL" isn't it?. Anyway, a great video, congratulations...
Yes! I saw it after uploading 😭 Great to see people are actually watching till the end! ❤️
Adam ondra is the best no matter if he wins
Truth! 🔥❤️
Janja is 10x better than Ondra, why is there never a showdown between the 2
@@auberotte1794 That would probably break the universe!
We got a belgian dude in there? God damn
Yeessss! Join the hype train! 🇧🇪
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!
Alberto is peaking at the right time
It's so impressive how he was blasting through moves in the final rounds of the quaifiers when other climbers were looking more fatigued already...
you forgot sasche lehman for switzerland 🇨🇭??
💔Sorry Switzerland! Good luck to Sascha!
I will separate bouldering and lead to.
Haha, a purist! I love it 🤣
honestly, yes! there’s a reason why all three event are done separately in competitions. i don’t get why other sports don’t have their groups messed up but climbing does. but at least speed is separated, because speed requires the most distinctly different skill set, with it having the exact same wall every single time. (i’m biased since my country’s athletes are speed athletes mostly, lol)
As much as I would love Ondra to take gold, Jakob is probably the favorite, man was unstoppable in 2023
He would make a fine champ!
agreed. jakob is in insane form atm
Nice video love the see belgium do well 😅
Go Hannes!!! Very nice video 😊
Thanks! Hannes naar de top!
