Olympics Climbing

Season Description
The Games of the XXXIV Olympiad are scheduled to take place in Los Angeles, California, USA, from 14 to 30 July 2028 with events scheduled to be held at other cities spread across the Greater Los Angeles area, plus two subsites in Oklahoma City.

After being an additional sport at both Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024, in February 2022 Climbing was one of the 28 sports included in the initial programme of LA28, while on 9 April 2025, the IOC announced that all three Climbing disciplines – Boulder, Lead, and Speed – will be contested as standalone medal events, bringing the number of Olympic golds awarded in Climbing from two at Tokyo 2020 and four at Paris 2024, to six at LA28.

The number of quota places in Climbing also saw a second increase, as 40 athletes climbed at Tokyo 2020, 68 followed at Paris 2024, and 76 are expected to compete in Los Angeles – 38 women and 38 men.
