If you want to watch the rest of the sport climbing events for free, consider signing up for live TV streaming services that offer free trials and carry E! or NBC. We recommend DIRECTV Stream, which comes with a five-day free trial.
The official streaming home of the 2024 Olympics is Peacock, the streaming service from NBCUniversal. This year, Peacock is broadcasting over 5,000 hours of live coverage, which includes all 329 medal events, every single event leading up to them, and the new, popular whip-around show Gold Zone.
Peacock costs $7.99/month with ads and $13.99/month without ads, and since the Olympics wrap up on August 11, you’ll only need one month to watch the entire 2024 Games.
There are actually three different kinds of sport climbing at the Olympics, and over the next three days, we’ll see all of them in action. The first is speed climbing, which is fairly self-explanatory and requires the climber to complete a course the fastest.
At the Olympics, the last two sport climbing disciplines are combined into one event where climbers do both and then their combined scores determine medal winners. Those disciplines are lead climbing and bouldering.
Lead climbing sees athletes climb as high as they can on a wall more than 15m high in six minutes without having seen the route ahead of time, using anchors on the wall to avoid falling. In bouldering, the athletes climb 4.5 m high walls without ropes in the fewest attempts possible and within a set period of time.
