I dont know the Maths, but having spoke to Max he said Erin, Molly and Hamish all qualified now. Hope that helps.
Sad that Max and Jim can't be there too but I'm sure they'll both enjoy a few beers and some outdoor climbing over the summer instead!
My google skills send me round in circles, is there a definitive final list anywhere?https://olympics.com/en/sport-events/olympic-qualifier-series-2024-budapest/global-standings/sport-climbing-womens-boulder-and-leadHere is the womens Also is speed climbing the "shortest" Olympic event now? Fastest times are about half that of the 100m sprint now.
Not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere but our most glorious and revered Ondra has made the selection.May his neck extend and receive the golden medal in Paris.

In all sports, would something like shooting or archery be even quicker again? It does get a bit hard to define...
