00:00Climbing at 2024 Paris Olympics, how it works, Team USA stars, what else to know?
00:07The document provides an overview of the sport of climbing at the 2024 Paris Olympics, detailing
00:13its history, disciplines, and format changes from the previous Tokyo Games.
00:18Climbing, which made its Olympic debut in Tokyo 2021, is set to continue in the 2024
00:25Paris Olympics and the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
00:30The sport is divided into three disciplines, bouldering, speed, and lead.
00:35Bouldering involves climbing a 4.5-meter wall without ropes, lead climbers aim for height
00:40on a 15-meter wall within six minutes, and speed climbers compete in a race against the
00:46clock and each other on a 15-meter wall with a five degrees incline.
00:50A notable change for the Paris Games is the separation of speed climbing into its own
00:55event, allowing athletes to specialize and focus on their strengths.
01:00Climbing's journey to the Olympics began at the Buenos Aires Youth Olympic Games in
01:042018 and was officially introduced in Tokyo 2021.
01:09The three disciplines of Olympic sport climbing are bouldering, speed, and lead, each with
01:14its unique challenges and rules.
01:17Despite that change, speed climbing will be a standalone event in Paris, diverging
01:21from the combined format of bouldering and lead seen in Tokyo.
01:25The 2024 Paris Olympics will see climbing evolve as a sport, with the separation of
01:30speed climbing from the combined event format.
01:34This decision not only allows climbers to showcase their skills in their chosen discipline
01:38but also marks a step towards the sport's growth and specialization within the Olympic
01:43framework.
