A new sport to the Olympics circa 2021, sport climbing is a unique sport in that the boulder and lead category is very confusing in my opinion. I don’t know how the scoring works. But for this Olympics, they’re combining the bouldering and lead climbing. Maybe I’ll learn the sport while watching Paris.
