Found the speed racing awesome to watch, where as this bouldering is a load of nonsense, just falling off at the same point time and time again. [Post edited 4 Aug 2021 10:44]

Bouldering is a technical exercise, indeed so is most sport climbing, rather than a purely speed based discipline. It's been tweaked for the Olympics so it's a bit different to what the climbers would normally do.
I suppose from, the casual perspective, most people see it like you do - so it's been a welcome addition to the games. |  |

I still have nightmares after watching Free Solo.
I did a bit of climbing once and learned fairly quickly that despite loving mountains and doing gnarly outdoors stuff, I didn't have a head for the heights of big climbs. I lost a close work colleague who fell of a cliff too when he was in his early 30s. That finished off any thoughts of doing any more. |  |

Not as good as Gladiators, but close |  |

Very much enjoyed it, cool addition to the games. On a similar note, the climbing documentary Free Solo is fantastic. |  |

Sorry to hear about your mate.
Was there a third climbing event? Thought I may have overheard that but they then cut to athletics. | |
