The American climber has broken the world record he previously set himself

At the 2024 Paris Olympics, the men's speed climbing finals took place.

American climber Sam Watson set a new world record in this discipline, reaching the top in 4.74 seconds. Interestingly, the previous record of 4,75 seconds also belonged to him. What makes this feat even more remarkable is that it occurred during the battle for the bronze medal, as Watson had not advanced to the final. As a result, the American climber secured the bronze medal at the 2024 Olympics.

In the 2024 Olympic Games, the long jump qualification also featured surprising outcomes. Additionally, there was a sensation in the final of the gymnastics balance beam competition.

By the way, on Monday, August 5th, the world-ranked leader in pole-vaulting also failed to qualify for the Olympics.
