Olympics 2024 climbing on TV: Channel, schedule, live stream
Your guide to climbing at the Olympic Games 2024, including the TV schedule.
Sport climbing is one of the more recent additions to the Olympics canon – having only made its debut at the Games in Tokyo three years ago – but now it's back for Paris 2024
There is one big difference this time around with two gold medals up for grabs for both men and women rather than just the one on offer in Japan: one for speed climbing and another for the combined boulder and lead event.
Both events are now underway at the Le Bourget Sport Climbing Venue – with Polish climber Aleksandra Miroslaw having already smashed her own world record on the way to a gold medal in the women's speed climbing event.
But there is lots more climbing action still to unfold before all the medals have been handed out. Read on for everything you need to know including who's competing for Team GB.
Don’t miss a minute of the Games with our complete 16-day Olympics TV Guide download, including how to watch all the action on TV, online, on catch-up and on the radio.

Team GB climbing at the Olympics 2024
Team GB has qualified a full quota of climbers for the combined boulder and lead event, with Toby Roberts and Hamish McArthur competing for the men, and Molly Thompson-Smith and Erin McNeice going for the women.
Thompson-Smith previously called for more diversity in the sport, telling BBC Newsbeat: "I'm often the only one who looks the way I do.
"One of my main motivations for competing at the Olympic Games is to be that role model, that athlete I wish I had when I was a kid."
