HISTORY: Since 2007 the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) has created a standard wall for all world records. Competitions take place on 15m climbing walls, which are 5-degrees overhung with standardized climbing positioned to create two identical routes with an auto-belaying system from the top of the wall. At the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, Speed Climbing will be one of the three combined climbing disciplines featured for the first time.
