Olympic Sport Climbing involves 3 formats: Bouldering, speed & lead

Athletes climb 4.5m high walls without ropes, in a limited period of time and in the fewest attempts possible

Race against the clock in a one-on-one elimination round. Athletes climb a 15m high and five degress inclined wall in under 6 sec for men and 7 sec for women.

Athletes climb as high as they can on a wall over 15m high in six minutes without having seen route ahead of time. The routes are more complex & challenging

Athletes compete in all three disciplines and the climber with the lowest combined score takes home the gold medal.
