After decades of climbers pushing for their sport’s inclusion on the Olympic program, the climbing community’s dream was realized when the International Olympic Committee announced in August 2016 that the sport would make its debut at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Nearly three years to the date, as climbers took their first shot at securing their Olympic quota spots at the IFSC Climbing World Championships in Hachioji, Japan, 18-year-old Brooke Raboutou climbed into history as the first American to qualify for the Olympic Games.

 “Earning a spot in the 2020 Olympics is just proof that focusing on myself and my climbing is what pushes me to the next level. I am beyond excited to embark on this new journey. It is such an honor to be able to represent the US at the Olympic level, especially as climbing makes its debut. I hope I can help the sport grow and introduce new people to the joys of climbing.”
