Unlike Tokyo 2020, Paris 2024 will host two distinct sport climbing events: a combined Boulder and Lead competition and a separate Speed climbing event.
With two separate events, the total number of medals awarded in sport climbing doubles compared to Tokyo.
The number of climbers participating has increased from 40 to 68, promising more intense competition.
Boulder and Lead require strength, endurance, and problem-solving, while Speed climbing demands explosive power and precision.
The climbing action will take place at Le Bourget Sport Climbing Venue in Saint-Denis, just north of Paris.
