What measures will the Olympic Committee take to avoid leaks in Sports Climbing?

Sports Asked on January 4, 2021

The Bouldering and Lead Climbing events at Tokyo 2020 (now 2021) will require professional routesetters to design routes for the athletes to climb. This creates the potential for those routes to be leaked to some athletes before the event.

I can’t think of another sport where athletes could benefit so much from information being leaked before the event, so I was wondering what steps are being taken to deal with this new possible way in which countries could cheat.

One Answer

As far as I've seen, the answer to how they'll keep it secret is that they just will. It doesn't seem as though there is a specific plan in place to keep this a secret.

That is definitely a good question though, I hadn't even considered that. It seems like there will almost certainly be leaks in the future. If you wanted to look more into this, they'd have the same issue in non-olympic sport climbing, so there might be some info on that.
