Climbing At Paris Games 2024: Location, Disciplines, More

The sport climbing events at the 2024 Summer Olympics began on August 5 and will continue until August 10.

These events are being held at the Le Bourget Sport Climbing Venue in Saint-Denis, which was constructed specifically for the Games alongside an aquatic centre in the same area.

This year marks the return of competition climbing to the Olympic program after its debut at the Tokyo 2020 Games.

The number of medal events has doubled from two to four, as the boulder-and-lead events have been separated from the speed climbing format. The number of participating climbers has also increased, from 40 in Tokyo to 68 in Paris.

Since its introduction in Tokyo 2020, the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) has advocated for separate medals in bouldering, lead, and speed climbing. However, the Tokyo format combined all three disciplines into a single event for each gender, which received criticism for its scoring system. In response, the International Olympic Committee has now decided to award medals for two distinct categories per gender: boulder-and-lead combined, and speed climbing.

A total of 68 climbers will compete in Paris, with 28 places allocated for speed and 40 for the boulder-and-lead combined format. Each participating country can enter a maximum of four climbers, with two athletes per gender in each format.
