What is sport climbing?
There are actually three different kinds of sport climbing at the Olympics, and over the next three days, we’ll see all of them in action. The first is speed climbing, which is fairly self-explanatory and requires the climber to complete a course the fastest.
At the Olympics, the last two sport climbing disciplines are combined into one event where climbers do both and then their combined scores determine medal winners. Those disciplines are lead climbing and bouldering.
Lead climbing sees athletes climb as high as they can on a wall more than 15m high in six minutes without having seen the route ahead of time, using anchors on the wall to avoid falling. In bouldering, the athletes climb 4.5 m high walls without ropes in the fewest attempts possible and within a set period of time.
