We are delighted to announce that UKClimbing.com has been selected to cover Sport Climbing at our second consecutive Olympic Games in Paris 2024. In 2021, despite the pandemic-induced restrictions, we travelled to Tokyo 2020 to report on climbing's successful Olympic debut from the ground.

The British Olympic Association allocates media accreditation requests for UK journalists and photographers via an independent Media Accreditation Committee. 

At Tokyo 2020, we provided live Tweets from the ground, behind-the-scenes social media content and daily written and video news round-ups. In the run-up to the Olympics, we also created an Olympic Athlete database with in-depth profiles of the selected climbers. 

In the lead up to Paris 2024, we aim to expand on our previous Olympic coverage through more interviews, athlete profiles and YouTube content ahead of the Games. 

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are scheduled to take place in the French capital from 26 July to 11 August 2024. 

The Sport Climbing event will take place over six days from 5-10 August 2024 — an increase on the four-day event held in Tokyo last year — at Le Bourget climbing venue, one of only two sports facilities to be built specifically for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

68 athletes will compete in Sport Climbing's second Olympic showing, with Speed as a single event and Boulder & Lead as a combined medal. 28 athletes will compete in Speed and 40 in Boulder & Lead, split equally between men and women (14 and 20 per sex).

Spectator tickets will be available to buy online and accessible worldwide for the first time in the history of the Games. Almost 10 million tickets are expected to go on sale in February 2023.

To be eligible to purchase tickets, fans must register for a draw. If fans are selected, they will be given a window to buy tickets.
