Chris Sharma podcast interview - Olympic format is a big shame!

The Ledge Podcast has made an interview with Chris Sharma, where our legend talks about his vision for his gym to become an international climbing meeting point for everyone coming to Barcelona before they go rock climbing in Catalonia, He seems to think he has too many bolted projects and at least one of them is harder than La Dura Dura 9b+, which he already has spent some time on. He thinks that he can do harder routes but he does not know if he wants it as it takes so much commitment. Patxi Usobiaga is moving to Barcelona and they have been discussing if also Chris should try training hard for a period. Regarding Olympics, Chris is really straightforward. Although he is positive for climbing to make it into the Olympics, he disapproves of the format. "The format that I have heard about I am not so happy about. Combining the three format is a big shame!"

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders.
