Team USA brought a mobile wall

During the last five days before the competition starts, the Olympians are allowed some practising in all disciplines. In Lead, there are four training routes and for three days the athletes have two tries with a six-minute time limit until Saturday. Then the routes are taken down.

Every day until Monday, the climbers have also some time slots to try the Speed wall and some set boulders. It should be mentioned that several athletes, including the Russian except Rubtsov, have chosen to fly in just two days prior to the comp.

Interestingly is also that team USA brought a mobile wall which they have set up inside their Olympic village. With kind of limited climbing training during the last days, this could be an advantage for the athletes used to climb for several hours a day, also few days prior to a comp.
