"We didn't grow up with the dream of climbing being in the Olympics. Because it wasn't there yet. And so when it did become a reality, it absolutely was my goal. Now sitting here as a team of four athletes going, I think that's really cool and it just shows how much we've improved as USA Climbing. And I can't wait for more people to be introduced to climbing as it's on this world stage."
Climbing will feature three categories
Lead, speed, and bouldering
