In an exciting development for the climbing community, the International Olympic Committee has confirmed that the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles will feature Boulder, Lead, and Speed climbing as separate disciplines with individual medals for both men and women!
This monumental decision not only raises the profile of sport climbing but also significantly increases the athlete quota for the event, offering more opportunities for climbers from around the world to compete on the Olympic stage.
With sport climbing’s debut in Tokyo 2020, this move marks a huge leap forward for the sport, allowing athletes to compete in their specialized disciplines rather than a combined format. It’s a game-changer for climbers, fans, and the climbing community as a whole, promising an even more thrilling and competitive environment at LA28.
Sport climbing fans, get ready to see Boulder, Lead, and Speed climbing take center stage at the Olympics, and witness a new chapter in the evolution of the sport!
