Google’s famous doodles have a talent for summarizing major world events, and the Paris Olympics 2024 is no different. The search giant debuted a stunning animation honoring the thrilling sport of climbing at the Olympics 2024 on August 7, 2024.
The doodle shows a flock of birds climbing a Parisian structure, their small claws moving remarkably quickly to grab onto the stone. This graphic, which was both humorous and profound, captured the essence of the climbers’ morale as they reached new heights.
Journey of Olympics Sport Climbing
After making its Olympic debut in the Tokyo 2021 Games, climbing quickly became popular all over the world. The Paris Olympics, which had 68 athletes from all around the world competing for gold, added to its stature.
Sports climbing made history when it was added to the Tokyo 2021 Olympics games; it gained international recognition and served as an inspiration for a new generation of climbers. With format changes and improved athlete visibility, the Paris 2024 Olympics will build on this success.
The division of Speed Climbing into a separate medal event and the combination of Bouldering and Lead Climbing into a single sport are two notable changes for the Paris Olympics 2024. Climbers can now specialize and concentrate on their strong points thanks to this modification, which should make competitions even more thrilling and intense.
According to the Olympic website, “the top 68 athletes in the world in both men’s and women’s sport climbing will compete at the Olympics 2024, August 5–10.”
Since sport climbing made its Olympic debut in Tokyo 2020, the discipline and rules have grown and will now offer twice as many medal prospects. These days, the two medal events comprise speed, bouldering, and lead combination. There will be 40 competitors in the boulder and lead events, and 28 men and women in the speed competition.
