4.97 for Leonardo! =WR, but he'll have a terrifying preliminary.

Why do they have disqualification for false starts in qualification if they have two chances? Seems stupid!!

4.79!!

WORLD RECORD for Watson  4.75!

[Book 70]

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

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.
