Just a few thoughts

A couple nice articles below about how climbing walls can improve your space. Routesetters get a few podcasts, and lots of new shapes to dream about. And of course, more from the Paris Games – athletes, movements, nutrition, and more. The torch went on a skimo outing. Last but not least, congrats to the hundreds of athletes who competed USAC Youth Nationals last week (results). Missed last week’s Insider on July 4th? It was a big one, you can catch up here.

The “PhysiVāntage 3” Competing in the 2024 Olympics!

PhysiVantage Pros Natalia Grossman, Alex Megos, and Yannick Flohé are heading to the Paris Games

image of 3 physivantage athletes The 2024 Olympics Qualifying process has come to an exciting conclusion, and PhysiVāntage Nutrition is proud to announce that three of our pro team members will be competing in Paris! PhysiVāntage climbers Alex Megos and Yannick Flohé (both of Team Germany), accumulated enough points to become Olympic-qualified by the end of the semi-final round in Budapest. The Budapest competition results were combined with the results from May’s Shanghai Qualifier to determine the final spots for the Paris Games. Rounding out the PhysiVāntage presence in Paris is Natalia Grossman (Team USA). She did not need to compete in the recent qualifying events, since her win at November’s Pan Am Games got her an early ticket to Paris. Only 20 men and 20 women will compete in Paris – this time the format being a combined Sport Climbing and Bouldering medal event. Another 14 men and 14 women are qualified for the stand-alone Speed Climbing medal event. Other Americans who earned a ticket to the Paris Games include Brooke Raboutou, Jesse Grupper, and Colin Duffy. Completing the American team are speed climbers Emma Hunt and Samuel Watson. The Olympic Games officially run from July 26 – August 11, however, the climbing action takes place between August 5 – 10th. Other big names competing in the men’s division include Adam Ondra (CZE), Jakob Schubert (AUT), Sasha Lehmann (SUI), Sorato Anraku (JPN), Tomoa Narasaki (JPN), and defending Gold Medalist Alberto Ginés López (ESP). Top women who will be challenging Brooke and Natalia, include Jessica Pilz (AUT), Ai Mori (JPN), Oriane Bertone (FRA), Miho Nonaka (JPN), Seo Chae-hyun (KOR), and defending Gold Medalist Janja Garnbret (SLO). (View full list of qualified climbers >> ) It promises to be six days of epic competition climbing — mark your calendars to watch the “PhysiVāntage 3”! These three Olympic-bound athletes use PhysiVāntage Nutrition to support their training and climbing performance. Some of their favorite products include Sendure-X, Supercharged Collagen, Powerplex (plant-based protein), FLOW, and Weapons Grade Whey (protein). Learn more about PhysiVāntage Nutrition at physivantage.com.

JOB SEEKER TIPS:

All about work-life integration and how it differs from balance By CareerBuilder “Let’s start by defining the idea of integrating the things you have to do for work with the things you have to do at home. The concept of work-life integration allows you to blend all your responsibilities, from caring for children to attending a webinar. But why should those things remain in separate boxes, particularly if you’re working from home? The lines between personal and professional time have been blurred, due in part to the lasting effects of the pandemic.” Read the full article here

Paris Olympics A-to-Z for Climbing Industry Insiders

As our sport, community and industry anticipate climbing’s second appearance in the Summer Olympic Games—following Sport Climbing’s debut at the Tokyo Olympics—there is perhaps even more excitement and hype than last time. After all, we now have gold medallists defending their titles, and there are now two sets of medals to earn—one for Boulder & Lead, one for Speed. The decision to give Speed its own medal was warmly received, and many hope that momentum will continue and we will see Boulder and Lead split into separate medals in the future, as well. But this summer, all eyes are on Paris… In total, 68 of the world’s best climbing athletes (34 women, 34 men) representing 22 countries and five continents are expected to compete in Paris. Countless articles on the subject have been written by climbing and non-endemic media, and we’ve curated the best of the bunch below. Without further ado, here is everything you need to know about Sport Climbing’s second appearance in the Olympic Games. (In tandem with this article, be sure to check out our media resource for climbing gyms here.)

Paris Olympics Media Resource for Climbing Gyms

If the lead-up to the Tokyo Olympics taught us anything, it was that Olympic momentum equates to unprecedented interest in climbing. Not only did climbing’s Olympic debut (in 2021) result in many people of all ages wanting to head to their local gym to give climbing a try, it also prompted many local media outlets to reach out to the closest climbing gym for a report on the sport’s surge in popularity.  It’s likely that the forthcoming Paris Olympics (July 26-Aug 11) will be preceded by the same widespread interest from media outlets in climbing. In many cases, reporters will reach out to climbing gyms in hopes of not only learning about the fundamentals of climbing (What is bouldering? What is speed climbing? etc.), but also about climbing’s statistical uptick in mainstream culture, the profusion of gyms around the country, and some insight on climbing’s Olympic format and the qualified Olympians, specifically.
OnSite
We want to help you be well-suited to speak on those topics, if/when the media reaches out to your gym. We also want to help your gym get positive press and publicity in conjunction with climbing’s Olympic lead-up this summer. So, we’ve put together a “cheat sheet,” of sorts, that can hopefully act as a reference guide for questions that your gym might be asked by members of the press in the next month or so. (Click here to download the fact sheet, and more Paris Olympics-related resources for climbing industry insiders can be found here.) We hope this media reference guide proves useful as a quick and handy tool when talking with reporters. It would be greatly appreciated if you could cite Climbing Business Journal as the source for some of the various statistics, as we worked hard to gather the data that is listed in this sheet. But mostly we’re just as psyched as you that the Paris Olympics will bring new positive publicity to climbing…and to your gym. Sincerely, The Editors at Climbing Business Journal Climbing Media Fact Sheet for Paris Olympic Games
