🔴 LIVE Sport Climbing: Men's Boulder & Lead Finals! | #OlympicQualifierSeries

Witness the power, dedication, and skill of Olympic athletes as they compete for their chance to shine on the world stage.

Break. Climb. Skate. Ride. The Olympic Qualifier Series is the ultimate stage for Paris. The two-part festival-style series will make its first stop in Shanghai on 16-19 May. The final leap for athletes to secure a spot in an Olympic Games. The results here will help determine which athletes qualify for Paris 2024 in breaking, BMX freestyle, skateboarding, and sport climbing. The Shanghai event will be a celebration of sport and culture, with music, fashion and art combining with the sporting competition to create a festival experience. It's a chance for fans and athletes alike to go watch and try different sports, experience epic moments together and meet a lot new people.

Athletes in BMX freestyle, sport climbing, and breaking will compete for a maximum of 50 points at each of the events in Shanghai and Budapest, making a maximum possible total of 100 points per athlete. Points from both stops will be compiled into a ranking for each of the sports, that will determine which athletes earn quota places for Paris 2024.

For skateboarding, the points system is divided into three parts: results from prior competitions and the results from the Shanghai and Budapest Olympic Qualifier Series events respectively. One-third of the points are allocated from past competitions, while the remaining two-thirds will be up for grabs in Shanghai and Budapest. The combined points from all competitions will give the final ranking.

Thanks to Olympic channel for posting all this free content; it's been great to watch.

Also, thanks so much to Hannah for providing a strong and healthy co-commentary with Matt. It was extremely refreshing to see a co-commentator who could continue to provide strong talking points and offer perspectives on a range of matters that kept the competition very engaging. I hope the IFSC will continue to bring her in.

Both the boulders and the lead route were waaay overcooked considering the conditions

[nedstrange]

The routesetters in all fairness to them did an incredible job on the women's boulders, here not so much.

[notapplicable]

The level of the boulders wasn't fundamentally bad, the athletes just simply need more rest. This may climbs in just 4 days is unreasonable.

I feel like they shouldn't have blocked that crimp on M2 after the second zone and it would've been an interesting bouldering round

[mjcpiano]

That QR code is distracting and blocking. I can manage a google search

[constanceelaine]

These are some of the best boulderers in the world. Absolute top level. What a shame the boulders were this hard. Wonder what the setters were thinking...

4th day of competition. You can't put those boulders up. Crazy hard and no skin.

Low scoring rounds are sooo frustrating to watch yet sadly they become a pattern in men's comps lately. Imagine having this massive preparation only to go out on mat to overcooked overzelaous boulders for a 4 minute struggle no one enjoys. Routesetter please let them athletes show what they are capable of!!!

Thanks for posting it on YouTube and not on the Olympic channel. The official Olympic channel website is absolutely awful. Everything connected to the livestream, login and casting is not working at all.

I surely hope we'll get better route setters for the Olympics, lol. For some reason the routes made for the women's finals tend to be way better than those for the men's finals. Not sure why. But thinking back at the previous Olympics, this seemed to be the case there as well. Kind of an embarrassing day, this was.

[androgynousmaggot]

Those were slightly too hard boulders considering the weather, but I guess this (meh) scoring is to be expected because it separates the athletes! I'm not a big fan of this concept anyway, but it's working since two disciplines decide the medals! Let's hope that in 4 years, they will separate them completely. Sadly, it will be too late for many, especially Adam, Jacob, or Tomoa!

[ABDILLASOUR]

Ty for posting on YouTube Olympics Channel!!

[Jan_Be]

Such a shame the boulders were overcooked, especially when taking into account the athletes are tired from a combined event and the hot conditions 😢

[gatosospechosop]

Never let the routesetters cook again, 4 tops across ALL climbers and boulders and all on the same boulder, just awful.

[lacattano]

Can we stop with the giant QR codes? Really annoying

[benoitbergeron]

Topping the last boulder really seemed to feel cathartic
