Toulouse Start List and Schedule

The next Olympic Qualifying event for Sport Climbing begins in two days. The final invitations have been sent out, including to the four athletes whose invitations were previously revoked based on a last minute rule change (Jernej Kruder (SLO), Aleksei Rubtsov (RUS), Sandra Lettner (AUT), Luliia Kaplina (RUS)). Japan is sending six athletes despite having already filled their maximum quota at the Hachioji World Championships.

Five American athletes have been invited: Kyra Condie, Ashima Shiraishi, Margo Hayes, Nathaniel Coleman and Sean Bailey. They must make top six in Toulouse in order to receive Olympic invitations. The top six will exclude any athletes from countries that have already filled their quota, such as Japan.

The top athlete to watch is Adam Ondra (CZE), who had a perfect lead season and missed out on his Olympic qualification in Hachioji after stepping on a bolt. Ondra placed second in the Combined 2019 ranking behind Tomoa Narasaki (JPN).

18-year-old Lucka Rakovec (SLO) made waves earlier this year when she qualified for her first World Cup finals in Moscow and then made finals in four more subsequent World Cups. Rakovec is currently leading the women’s pack, with YueTong Zhang (CHN) hot on her heels. 

Below find the complete list of invited athletes and the Toulouse schedule.
