Paris – Adam Ondra advanced from third place to Friday’s combined final at the Paris Olympics for the top eight, where he can improve on the sixth place from the climbing premiere under five circles in Tokyo. After fifth place in Monday’s bouldering, he finished tied for second place in the second part of the difficulty qualification. Poland’s Aleksandra Miroslawová became the premier Olympic champion in speed climbing, beating China’s Deng Li-yuan by eight hundredths in the final.

On the wall, Ondra came in second after defending champion Albert Ginés from Spain for a difficult passage on the mark marking 60 points. He fell a few steps further, but thanks to the result of 68.1, with the total in bouldering, he took the lead with certainty of advancement.
“Absolutely great. Although the trip seemed very unpleasant to others, I actually found it very pleasant. I myself am very surprised at the result, because at the moment I fell I did not feel completely tired. It was just a small tactical error,” he told reporters, explaining that he chose the wrong of two options in which position to put his foot.
Of the remaining seven climbers, only Briton Toby Roberts, who had the same difficulty score as the Czech representative, and bouldering winner Sorato Anraku got ahead of Ondra. The 17-year-old Japanese fell in the same place as Ondra and Roberts, which was clearly enough for him to win the qualification.
Experienced Austrian Jakob Schubert and defending champion and winner of the Ginés difficulty were also among the top eight. On the other hand, the hopes of one of the candidates for a medal, the Japanese Tomoy Narasaki, ended already in the qualification. For example, neither the German Yannick Flohe nor the French Sam Avezou were successful.
While three years ago speed was part of the combination, now only bouldering and difficulty are competed in, in which Ondra has a combined four world championship titles.
The two-time Polish world champion Miroslawová, who took fourth place in the combination thanks to her speed victory in Tokyo, confirmed her role as the favorite in Paris. In the semi-finals, she defeated compatriot Aleksandra Kalucká, who ended up third. Miroslawová had the closest fight in the final, in which she was only four hundredths of a second behind her own world record from the qualification with a time of 6.10.
