Surely
I am posting this blog way ahead of its time and 2 days later the scheduled
blog day. But, I believe in keeping my readers ahead and so as a caring blogger
and a professional mountaineer, of course, I will try to very simply lay down
the basics of Sports Climbing and if you like it (which I will know only if you
leave a supportive comment, so do not forget to leave a comment below đ). I will
write more vividly on the topic!
LEGGO!!!
So, as stated earlier, Sports climbing is a form of sports which is a mixture of
modern sports mixed with the traditional form of climbing. Broadly for layman
reference, sports climbing is generally indoors and the other form that happens out door is called rock climbing.
Unlike
the traditional form of rock climbing the climbers are allowed provided ith
permanent rock protectors as they advance, thus making Sports climbing a lot
more enduring as compared to the traditional forms of rock climbing.
This
is yet another reason why sports climbing is catching so much attraction is,
that Sports climbing doesnât need very intensive training as is required in the
traditional forms of climbing.
Sports
climbing emphasizes strength, endurance, gymnastic ability and technique, over
adventure, risk and self-sufficiency. With increased actuality, sports climbing
as an indoor recess activity is gaining huge attraction. As well as a form of
intensive training in gyms.
In
September 2015, sport climbing was included in a shortlist along with baseball,
softball, skateboarding, surfing, and karate to be considered for inclusion in
the 2020 Summer Olympics; Finally, on August 3, 2016, all five sports (counting
baseball and softball together as one sport) were approved for inclusion in the
2020 Olympic program.
The
proposed format for Olympic sports climbing will require participants to
compete in all three disciplines â lead climbing, speed climbing and
bouldering.
So,
That as it for the week! The next time I write depending upon your supportive
comments, I will be discussing differences between Lead Climbing, Speed
climbing and BoulderingâŚ
