Reddit climbing competitive olympics. Your ranking is defined by the highest climbing hold you reach, where the highest possible hold is the top. Lead Climbing: Athletes climb a lead climbing wall, which is typically a lot taller than a bouldering wall and therefore requires a rope for safety. Climbing has made it into the Olympics and that's awsome as it is. Each Olympic sport seems to negotiate the number of athletes that its sport gets. r/CompetitionClimbing: A comprehensive subreddit for all things competitive climbing. I have no idea how these negotiations take place. Instead, we just had to watch a bunch of people who aren’t the best at that sport compete at an “Olympic” level. Ideally it would be great to see all three events separated but this will be a vast improvement. Speed climbing is an entirely different sport, and if they’re going to add it to the Olympics then the best speed climbers in the world deserve to showcase their talents. There is a (relatively) fixed number of total athletes in the Olympics (~10,500). Even if the format is bad or you don't like it, I haven't heard of any plans for it to change. . The format will be changing for Paris 2024. Speed climbing will have its own discipline and medals and then there'll be a combined bouldering and lead event.
