That is an idea?

Excactly!

Id love to see the average joe do it lmao

bros vs pros

They should do that for every career. We should all just respect each other’s career choices 🤷🏽‍♀️

YES!!! Totally agree. This is his sport!

Yup

R u some kind of bot

This is he's sport, his moment to shine

It’s free now!! Haha 😂 still get to keep my free trail that I might try one day

@@elijah.goody.photos I can't swear to the others, but I got mine from participating in (Pokemon) Go Fest this year.

@@oliviaogden1101 is there an easy way to get it from the fest if I've never even played Pokémon go before or does it take a long time to get?

@@elijah.goody.photos only those worthy get it for free. Be. Gone. Peasant.

Totally, Im actually getting excited for the Olympics and I've never been so tempted to do the premium trial. Don't need a hook to watch Try Guys 😊

HE LOOKS LIKE JOSH O'CONNOR! (Charles in The Crown)

Josh also looks like Josh Scherer from GMM. or his younger brother.

@@blacksheep5183 he reminds me of Jesse Eisenburg

so what I've learnt is all joshes look the same

ngl i thought this athlete 's ned in the beginning xD

Ikr I have chronic pain and my whole body is hurting just imagining it. I mean my body hurts anyway but still!

@@violetskies14 I have chronic pain and I've been climbing for over a year now! Sometimes it gets really frustrating, especially when I have to take breaks because of random flare-ups, but I'm so glad I kept at it :)))

@@j_fenrir That is so cool! I have chronic fatigue but have been looking into rock climbing lately to try getting my endurance and socializing up, and cases like yours make me really hopeful :D

That is what I am wondering. I know he has a disease, that prevents him from doing most of the sport. But if you keep it to just climbing and not speed or bouldering, climbing is one of the most joint friendly sports. I work in a climbing center and I do have people of 80 years still coming in to climb every week.

@@Ko-et8vo it's also one of the few things where being short can make it a little easier because of the center of gravity thing, except for the speed climbing which being tall seems like an asset

@@Ko-et8vo Ever since I was a kid rock climbing always interested me, but then I would remember I can't even climb a 5ft chain-link fence lmao

@@lkcullen1918 cause you are afraid of hights or something else ? cause everything else is trainable with little steps

@@Ko-et8vo Not a fear of heights, I've just never been able to. I could never find a place to put my feet where they wouldn't slip, and I think I have a awkward lack of upper body and grip strength lol

I totally agree. The same people think dancing is not a sport even tho dancers sweat their bums off in all those competitions. I think that they just don’t want to be open minded..

Honestly everything that involves a lot of training to get better should be considered a sport

I mean not all sports can be in the olympics because you still need it to be a sport that’s popular (many countries) and be obtainable in the time period. Oh and have a winner

EXACTLY

@@yolandapaulino5952 Tbh sports climbing is very popular everywhere, since every continent has mountains or rocky elements.

Agreed, however the IOC would only allow one set of medals for men and women, so it was decided to make it a combined event.

Climbers complained about it for a looooonnng time when it was announced 😢

@@monkeycircus509 yup but dissapointed they decided to allow speed.

For the 2024 Olympics, they will be. They combined the disciplines for this games and separated them moving forward.

@@christopherpoulakos5032 Bouldering and Lead will still be a combined medal while Speed will be separate in the 2024 Olympics

They should incorporate, all around / individual like gymnastics! So there is something for everyone

they will probably make adjustments as the years go on

THAT'S where I know him from! It was bothering me the entire video lol.

they wanted the emphasis on olympics

Yeah, I always thought that rock climbers were the best athletes suited for ANW

Ikr! Love Levin, hope he competes again

I mean it's not ANW focused, so they didn't need to mention it. He has also climbed longer than hēe has done ANW

There is somehere starting @14:05

I gotta agree with Sissco Every competitor already knows the moves from muscle memory. The wall is always exactly the same, from the precise placement of the holds to their texture , and even the texture of the wall. When someone comes with a move to shave off time, like Reza, the world record holder, who literally skips the second hold, everyone copies the guy. It's literally like watching speedrunners but it lasts 6 seconds. It's still impressive to watch someone climb a 50 foot wall in a matter of seconds, but I feel it's way less interesting to watch than the other disciplines. Bouldering is great because each problem is unique and people can use their creativity to solve the problem in different ways depending on their physical ability. The people who come up with the problems most of the times already have a sequence of moves they want the climber to be forced to take, but competitors often try to "break" that sequence of move and come up with their own.

Bouldering is the best

I bet it might be difficult for someone with chronic pain, (coming from someone with chronic pain) but I’ve found that it helps me stay active also! It doesn’t hurt too bad and it’s super fun 😂

A new hobby for zachy

Yessss

That's so cool! Best of luck to you

@@ascotter Thank you so much! Same to you!

His head/upper body has further to fall lol

@@hannerz777 😂

Every time he ties his shoes he must freak

Honestly it makes more sense that taller people are more likely to be scared of heights. Our centers of gravity are higher and we can feel off balance/fall a lot easier

It only works out your back and arms but still a sport

@@krakenattackin7617 not true at all, lots of hip movements involved and dynamic movements requiring strong legs! not to mention toe hooks, heel hooks etc.

@@krakenattackin7617 Core, legs, and flexibility. And don't forget it tests your technique on slabs, timing on dynamic moves, balance and body control on top of your stamina and strength.

@@piethrower91 yes, I am aware, but the times where you actually use your legs or chest so much that they get tired is extremely rare in climbing. Abs yes, but really only on 50+ degree overhang. Far from a full body workout

@@krakenattackin7617 have you seen rock climbers do finger strenght tests? There is a youtuber who used to be a competive climber but still does climb for fun and he can do a pull up on one finger. And I think it depends what kind of climbing you do if its a full body workout. There is a type of climbing where they do mainly ceiling stuff and without a strong core, you are not getting anywhere Also there are many other sports where its not full body workout, why does that make it any less impressive?

I saw him get the record. It was so so cool!

Same! I've been looking out for rock climbing by the Try Guys and I'm so happy

I wondered the same the entire video

I wasn’t sure but I think it was chalk and I wanted to brush it off so badly

It's his hair

It's natural

I forget what it was called but it's a type of birth mark (at least that's how it was explained to me). I had a classmate when I was in High School who had it who always had to explain it to people why he had a patch of white hair. xD it's pretty cool honestly. They are pretty much born with it and it never goes away.

👌

Patience pays off. Soon, we'll get to see the full Badminton and Swimming videos.

i hope they do an equestrian one 🥺

@@maybe3631 I’m pretty sure they finished filmed the hoe to series, maybe next year!

@@francesleones4973 badminton is available now, I've just seen it!

Who’s ever said that? Didn’t realise it’s a sentiment anywhere

@@theislandblue It sounds exaggerated but the amount of people that berate the sport at least is quite big, saying it isn't a sport is a bit rarer but it still certainly happens. It's just not conventional enough to earn the respect of mainstream suckers that base their opinions and personalities off the popularity of things

@@mostlyimportant4212 definitely heard some blokes at the pub watching this event complaining that there was "no way this is a sport." They also seemed to think the female speed climbers were being pulled up by the rope, so there's probably no hope for them.

@@aislinnrossi I guess the blokes never rock climb before because the rope has too much tension to 'pull the climbers.'

thank you! i was looking at him and trying to figure out who he reminds me of!

He looks like the actor in now u see me imo

Yess, thank you! I thought I was the only one weirding out here thinking he looks like them

@@lisal8887 that is Jesse Eisenberg

I thought he kind of looks like American Josh O'Conner!

You should give it a try!

He’s also an engineer. So a bit of Ned thrown in

As it's the first time climbing is in the Olympics, they were only allotted one set of medals. In Paris, they will have two sets of medals, and will have one speed event and one combined lead / bouldering event. Hopefully, we will eventually have four or even five sets of medals (individual events, individual combined and maybe a team event).

yeah they're going to split speed and lead/bouldering next olympics, this was just the only way to introduce it to the olympics the first year

It wouldn't be so bad if they had two *real* types of climbing. But "Speed climbing" is not a thing. Nobody in the climbing community does it. Nobody wants to train for it because it's actually bad for your real climbing strengths.

Oh It's totally unfair. Some climbers emphasize 2 disciplines, but a majority specialize in 1. Climbers are excited that it's in the Olympics, but the format for this years Olympics is so stupid.

Matka O wdym team events?

omg same

same

I was about to use my free trial but decided to not use it. Then I came accross of this video in my recommendation and noticed they remove the premium.

@@itzsachielytgaminggirl4443 Shut up! Well, I guess I have to download and play in the background as much as I can in the next months to get the most of it then.

@@itzsachielytgaminggirl4443 same!!!

Haha, yeah i liked that, too. Class 5 is defined as terrain that requires a stationary belayer while 1 person climbs, and class 6 is defined as terrain that requires equipment like via ferratas or aid climbing (before the aid climbing ratings of A0,C0,etc really became popular).

@@alextemus I..... know? That's the point?

climbing blind sounds horrifying

tbf most auto belay related injuries are literally because people haven't clipped in to the auto belay

I chalk up when I’m watching people climb.

This whole video is cringe. And as a european this is even more cringe since this climber might be top in the US, but will likely not even get close to top in the olympics

@@Angus_fO Still faster and better than you

@@therunner8955 you dont say?

I was looking for that comment ! And the female WR is under 7 seconds though I can't remember how much exactly :)

I know 🙈

I thought that sounded awful lol

😅

Well climbers cringed the whole video...

@@minifishy7162 only the ones who are too uptight 😜

Definitely outside training

Not as much as it is to lead
