The Climbers Competing at the Paris Olympics

The 2024 Paris Olympics start at the end of the month. Unlike in Tokyo, the sport of climbing is going to be split into two different disciplines in Paris: Boulder & Lead Combined and Speed. In total, twenty men and twenty women will compete in the Boulder & Lead Combined event. Fourteen men and fourteen women will face off in Speed.

The climbing events in the Olympics run from August 5 to 10, with the men’s Boulder & Lead final being held on August 9 and the women’s Boulder & Lead final being held on August 10. With the wrap-up of the Olympic Qualifier Series (OQS) at the end of June, all Olympic qualifying spots have now been determined. For each gender category in Boulder & Lead, three spots were awarded at last summer’s World Championships in Bern, one spot was awarded at each of the five continental qualifier events, and 12 spots were awarded at the two-part OQS in Shanghai and Budapest.
