Olympic Sport Climbing Expert Picks

When sports fans think Summer Olympics, they don’t often turn to climbing.

Most believe climbing to be one of those hobbies that are more suited for children than anyone else.

Top world climbers, though, are as athletic as almost any person in any other sport.

It takes strength, balance, and flexibility to be a speed climber, the lone category of climbing that offers betting odds.

Check out Olympic odds on speed climbing for both men and women to win gold as well as analysis and picks.

 

Olympic Speed Climbing Men’s Odds

  • Samuel Watson +150
  • Wu Peng +225
  • Matteo Zerloni +350
  • Veddriq Leonardo +1000
  • Yaroslav Tkach +1200
  • Long Jinbao +1200
  • Zach Hammer +1400
  • Rahmad Ani Mulyono +1600
  • Razi Alipour +2200
  • Amir Maimuratov +2200
 

Men’s Sport Climbing Odds

The chalk offers overlay odds.

Samuel Watson has a resume that towers over most of his competition’s resumes.

Watson won both the 2022 and 2023 Speed Climbing World Cups.

He not only is the defending World Cup Champion, but he qualified for the Olympics by winning gold at the Pan American games.

Also, and this is the most important part, Watson holds the record for the fastest climbing time at 4.789 seconds.

Sam Watson is the top pick.

If you’re looking for an underdog, consider backing Long Jinbao.

His accomplishments pale in comparison to Watson’s, but so do most everyone competing at the Olympics in climbing.

Jinbao won silver at the IFSC Climbing World Championships.

If he has improved off that performance, he has a chance at the upset.

 

Olympic Speed Climbing Pick: Samuel Watson

Olympic Speed Climbing Underdog Pick: Long Jinbao

 

Olympic Speed Climbing Women’s Odds

  • Janja Garnbret -525
  • Brooke Raboutou +500
  • Ai Mori +900
  • Seo-Chae Hyun +1600
  • Natalia Grossman +1600
  • Jessica Pilz +2000
  • Zelia Avezou +2800
  • Orianne Borton +2800
  • Miho Nonaka +2800
  • Oceania Mackenzie +3500

Garnbret started climbing at age 7.

Since then, she’s proven to be one of the most accomplished climbers on the women’s side.

How good is Garnbret?

She’s won more medals than any climber in the history of the IFSC, meaning she’s the most accomplished climber in the sport’s history.

Not only that, but she won silver at the 2023 World Championships to qualify for Paris.

She’s also the defending gold medalist, the first to ever win a gold for climbing when she took home the hardware at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Beating Garnbret is going to be tough.

If you decide to go against her in speed climbing, don’t back someone like Brooke Raboutou.

Yes, Raboutou can get it done if Garnbret falters, but the odds on Raboutou makes her an underlay.

Consider backing one of the +1600 to +3500 shots.

Natalia Grossman is more of a boulder than a speed climber.

If she transfers her bouldering form to speed climbing, and Garnbret falters, Grossman could get it done.

She’s the upset pick.

 

Olympic Speed Climbing Pick: Janja Garnbret

Olympic Speed Climbing Underdog Pick: Natalia Grossman

2020 Tokyo Olympics: Betting Guide for Sport Climbing
 

Previous Betting News

For the first time in Olympics history, the games will include sport climbing and skateboarding. Both events should produce some of the most competitive contests at the 2020 Tokyo Games. Check out more information on Olympic Skateboarding and Olympic Sport Climbing as well as the participants on which Olympic handicappers should keep an eye. Let’s get right to it so you can bet against their Olympics Betting odds.

Skateboarding & Sport Climbing Betting Guide for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

2020 Olympic Games

When: Friday, July 23 – Monday, August 9
Where: Tokyo, Japan

How will Olympic Sport Climbing competitions work?

Although officially called Olympic Sport Climbing, the events are basic rock climbing. So if you have ever seen a rock climbing wall, you know exactly what Sport Climbing is.

Scoring will take place for three disciplines: Olympic Lead Climbing, Olympic Bouldering, and Olympic Speed Climbing. All climbers will perform in isolation.

In Lead Climbing, the athlete that reached the highest hold on the wall gets the top ranking. Bouldering is more difficult to explain. The event requires solving as many climbing problems as possible within a time frame.

Topping a boulder problem means reaching the top hold. Climbers must grab the top hold with both hands and maintain control.

Speed climbing is scurrying up a 15 meter wall as fast as possible. As we might expect, speed climbing is based on time. The faster climbers gets up the wall, the better.

Who are the Sport Climbing participants Olympic handicappers should consider backing?

The favorite is the Czech Republic’s Adam Ondra. The 28-year-old started climbing at age 6. Ondra will be tough to beat. The U.S. hopes 17-year-old Colin Duffy gives Ondra all he can handle.

On the women’s side, Slovenia’s Janja Garnbret is a six-time World Championship gold medalist. Great Britain’s Shauna Coxsey looks like her toughest competition.

Two women Americans should perform well. 25-year-old Kyra Condie and 20-year-old Brooke Raboutou have a ton of experience. Raboutou started climbing when she was a kid. Condie started climbing in her teens.

How will Olympic Skateboarding competitions work?

For the Olympics, Japan built a custom skateboarding park near Tokyo Bay. 40 men and 40 women will compete in two event categories, Street and Park.

Street events happen on a straight, street-like course with curbs, benches, walls, handrails, and stairs. Park events happen on a hollowed out course with plenty of curves.

Park events take place at a traditional skating park while street events happen as if competitors were skating through a city.

Who are the Skateboarding participants Olympic handicappers should consider backing?

The United States has a solid team. Legend Shaun White, Jagger Eaton, and Nyjah Houston all have a shot at gold.

But the Japanese side is also strong. Aori Nishimura, Yuto Horigome, Kisa Nakamura, and Ayumu Hirano can all medal.

One interesting note? England is sending 10-year-old Sky Brown. Although Brown lives in Japan and grew up in the host nation, she’ll represent England at the games.

Brown won Dancing With the Star Junior and is a world champion surfer. She’s got a legitimate shot to grab a medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
