Sports climbing speed Jun Yasukawa wins consecutive Japan Cup. In the women's category, 18-year-old Ai Takeuchi won for the first time.

Sport climbing is an event in which people compete to see how fast they can climb a 15-meter-high wall with a common route set around the world. At the Tokyo Olympics, it was held as one of the "combined" events, but at the Paris Games, it will be carried out as a stand-alone event.
