It's confirmed to have three separate events for Paris?!

Two events - speed and combined (lead and bouldering). Still not ideal but separating speed is at least an improvement.

Well all the sudden this has turned into a four way lead competition.

It's basically the old format in figure skating where a total number of placings decides the final ranking?

If Spain wins that means all 3 gold medals for Spain won't reappear in 2024.

The 6.0 scoring system was one of the worst scoring system in the history of sports so :P

That couple moves was the difference between finishing 1st or 6th *eyeroll*

Sports climbing? Amazing. They should have all three events at the Olympics.

 

The sports climbing combined event? That might actually be the worst event in the Olympics across both summer and winter games.
