Three sets of medals per gender in LA28

IFSC reports that the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will feature separate events for Lead, Boulder, and Speed with a total athlete quota of 38 across both men and women. This marks a shift from the Tokyo 2020 format, where all three disciplines were combined into a single event. At Paris 2024, Lead and Boulder were contested together, while Speed had its own standalone event.

The IFSC President Marco Scolaris comments, "From the very beginning of our Olympic journey we have always had the target of three sets of medals for our athletes. Each of our disciplines has its own unique strengths, and now everyone will see these at LA28. “I’m happy to be at this point in our history thanks to a fantastic collaborative effort from so many people. The Climbing community; from the athletes to the spectators to the staff all working together. I’m personally grateful to the IOC and LA28, working together in these last months was a great human and sport experience. LA28 will be an ever-bigger celebration for Climbing."
