Paris medals based on Tokyo and Los Angeles scoring

The point scoring system in Paris, including the two zones in Boulder, proved to be both easy to understand and fair. The best overall Boulder & Lead climbers ultimately secured the medals. The scoring at the Tokyo Olympics involved multiplying the results of the three disciplines, which heavily favoured winning a single discipline over consistently strong performances across all disciplines. It's likely that in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, there will be three separate sets of medals. Here’s how the medalists would have been determined in 2024 using both the Tokyo and LA scoring systems.

Tokyo multiplication scoring if used in Paris
1. Janja Garnbret 3 - Sorato Anraku 5
2. Ai Mori 7 - Adam Ondra 7
3. Brooke Raboutou 10 - Jakob Schubert 10

Los Angeles three sets of medals if used in Paris

1. Janja Garnbret - Sorato Anraku
