Sports Climbing New Olympic Sport? (16 Dec 2010)
Monday, June 2nd, 2008
For the exponents of ‘watching paint dry’ there apparently, is to be a new Olympic Sport – Sports Climbing – so-called. Yes, in 2020, Sports Climbing is to be introduced another International competition the British will never win – no Gold Medals there then (but loads-a-lottery-cash anyway). Sports climbers apparently, are latant tradional climbers with – no balls. Fixed, pre placed protection is a must for climbers without the neck for real climbing. No doubt, the BMC’s new ‘Leaders ladders’ will play a prominant part in this new, Olympic sport. It is to be hoped, that the Sports Climbing contestants can cope; survive the inevitable drug-testing. The street rioting in Vancouver (winter 2010), civil unrest due to the awsome waste of public money that Olypics are; represent, will not deter – Sports Climbers and their supporters.
