The Olympic record before today was 5.45. 
 

Looking like that won’t even get you into finals today. Speed climbing really gets to be introduced this year.

 

Edit: wasn’t even close. 5.26 is the slowest elimination heat. And of course the fastest time was a whole half second quicker

Do people really enjoy a 4 seconds event ?

I think it is one of the only timed events where 'normal' people can really see how incredible the athletes are.

Speed is fun, though not as much as Lead and Boulder for me. Though having the same course gets repetitive after a while. If they were different courses and you see the climbers having to adapt to new speed climbing, that could make for more interesting competitions.
