The top eight women's speed climbers have progressed from the preliminary stages to the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals, all set to take place on Wednesday, August 7th.
The climbers faced the first timing stage, where all 14 athletes ascended the Sumathi wall as quickly as possible, navigating 20 handholds and 20 footholds. The results from this stage determined the head-to-head match-ups for the next stage, the intense elimination round. The winners from these match-ups will advance to the final, scheduled to take place in two days.
Aleksandra Miroslaw is in outstanding form, alongside her Poland teammate Aleksandra Kalakar. The young climber secured her spot in Paris after edging out her twin sister and 2021 world champion, Natalia Kalyana, for the final position on the Polish team.
Indonesia's reputation for excellence in speed climbing continues with the advancement of reigning world champion Desak Made Rita Kusuma Dewi and Rajiah Sall billah. While Dewi advanced comfortably, Scalable needed to secure her spot as the fastest loser.
Team USA's Emma Hunt, the runner-up at the 2023 World Championships, also advanced to Wednesday's competition, adding to the excitement of the upcoming rounds.
