With a combination of both gender and disciplines daily, the new schedule will aim to increase audience exposure whilst extending the athlete’s Olympic experience. There will be four days of competition for the Speed climbers and six for the Boulder & Lead athletes. 

From close discussions the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC), Paris 2024 and the Olympic Broadcasting Service have agreed on the sessions with the aim of achieving optimal broadcasting coverage with little competition overlap with other sports.

IFSC President Marco Scolaris said: “It was not easy to find the best combination to benefit the athletes and satisfy the watching public, on site and at home. We learned from Tokyo 2020, and we took into account many different aspects to make a really solid schedule, to showcase our great sport to a global audience.”

Sport Climbing events will take place at Le Bourget Climbing venue, one of only two sports facility to be built specifically for Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
