This is Zach's sport. He didn't realize he was an athlete, but here he is.

This is the real-life version of that whole idea of "they should have one average joe compete in every Olympic sport to remind everyone of just how elite these athletes are and none of us average people could even come close to what they do".

Zach and Keith really has nice chemistry together. Proud of you two for really doing your best despite Keith’s fear of heights and Zach’s chronic pain! ❤️

Dude is like how Ned’s son is gonna exactly be when he’s grown

I'm living for Zach's ascend in rock climbing. He's enjoying a lot!

[christinem]

Zach is a natural! It makes my heart so happy to see how capable he is because I know how much his chronic pain is intertwined in his everyday life. So proud!!

[ryeryeflow]

How would this NOT be a sport? I don’t get how anyone can look at this and say it’s not a sport :o

Josh is such a passionate climber! He's super supportive of Keith and Zack but also of his fellow climbers. Glad to see him and sport climbing getting highlighted here!

I love rock climbing just a little upset they’re making climbers participate in all 3 categories. Exactly like how you don’t expect sprinters to run marathons, all climbers aren’t the same and most of us choose to specialise in a specific area of climbing.

[jessicafewer]

Zach!!! You should start doing this! You seem to have a natural talent for it!!!

Zach as a fellow chronic pain person (hip, lower back with flares to leg), climbing has been the BEST sport for me. It’s very adaptable to your day to day changes (if I’m extremely tired or in extreme pain, I do easy movements and easier routes), the gyms are usually super chill vibes and people are always willing to help. Absolutely has been a life changer for me, been climbing for about 5 years now and I’ve never been so fit & strong.

Just like how sprinters and long distance runners are separate, I think each part of climbing should be separate

"Speed climbing is so fast that if you stop to breath, you're not fast enough"

I can't wait to watch it :)

[Zamz]

I'm sort of sad they didn't mention his American Ninja Warrior career

[lilmeowmeow]

It's exciting to be able to witness a new sport added to the Olympics

[danielionsplaylists]

This video is made for me. I love climbing, Try Guys, and the Olympics!
Can't wait for the sport climbing comp 😍

6:15 *The Men's Speed Climbing World Record is 5.208s! The current record holder is Veddriq Leonardo from Indonesia.*

He achieved this record in the Finals of the 2021 World Cup in Salt Lake City just shortly after fellow Team Indonesia climber Kiromal Katibin achieved the world record time of 5.25 seconds in the Qualification round.

Absolutely love the promo by the try guys! Sport Climbing will be my favorite in the Tokyo Olympics. Can't wait for it.

Zach is doing really well for someone with a fused hip. This is so fun to watch.
