- We follow Julian David, who is representing New Zealand in men's speed climbing at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. He's gearing up for one of his last events before the Games, the IFSC World Cup in Chamonix, France. The team's coach, Rob Moore, works with Julian and his teammate, Sarah Tetzlaff, for 25 to 30 hours a week to practice and refine their intense training regimen. For the very first time, speed climbing will be judged as a standalone event at the 2024 Olympics, and the pair are the first from New Zealand to qualify.
Sam Watson broke his own world record of 4.79 seconds at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a time of 4.74 seconds. Julian David achieved a new personal best of 5.24 seconds. At the time of publishing, this narrows their difference to 0.5 seconds.

How New Zealand's Fastest Speed Climber Trains For The Olympics | Second To None | Business Insider
TBH you shouldve done this documentary on the Indonesian (Veddriq) who won gold. Indonesia somehow seems to always produce great speed climbers, both male and female for many years now. Wouldve been cool to see background into that
Kudos to him! What an impressive achievement, especially at 19 years of age. I know he will be one of the GOAT at Speed Climbing. Hopefully he'll get that gold medal soon in the 2028 Olympics!
4.740 is the record now. The record was broken before they even posted this.
From indonesia
@@ahmadsameggu9942america, veddriq before then sam watson
@@ahmadsameggu9942 nah the same Samuel watson got the 4.740 record, his 4th consecutive world record
For the first time watching this video. I think this experiment will definitely help full in mountain climbing. Its true. Inly thing here also few climbing must be with out roap support.
He’d be a beast at parkour
Indonesia 🥇
Practice, that's how
Funny how someone needs an explanation that "speed climbing is all about speed and you can make a mistake that will ruin your result".
I really wish people who can't understand it by just reading the name of the video, wouldn't be allowed to vote.
Veddric won gold medal
Spidermen😳
Greetings from Mr Axel Vasa the west coast wizard himself, I got something essential to share with you, Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.
Love you very much❤️.
He didn`t win the olympics
9:21 just saying I wouldn’t apologize for this at all. If they are upset then they should get better at the sport instead of complaining about what the person who won did. Don’t ever let someone else tell you not to show your emotions when winning on a stage like that. You worked hard to get there and deserve to show some emotions. Idc what everyone else thinks about it you earned that if you ask me. Like I said if your competition dosent like it then maybe they should practice more and beat you next time so you can’t celebrate. People want some sort of gratification just for putting the work in, when that’s not life. Like I said if someone has something to say about what you’re doing then let them beat you first then they can say something.
Celebrating before going over the finish line IS bad style I'd say and it mocks the other competitor. I watched the race and it didn't seem like it was with bad intention but just a very excited guy. But it shows some good sportsmanship to make clear that it was not mockery and to apologize.
he hadnt won YET, techincally, thats the point
Imagine this guy as a zombie 😭😭
*Sonic* can do it faster 😏😅
I'll take the roadrunner to beat Sonic. Beep, beep.
Hows about this for irony I am lying in bed barely able to stand uptight due to sarcopenia in my leg muscles looking for tips on how to train my leg muscles to be stronger, when I have done enough functional exercise to get my legs to be strong enough to get to a gym again. I used to be able to get out of my futon bed and squat lift my considerable bulk to full height. And then stand on one leg in turn whilist I put my five fingers on.
I have a way to go!
❤🎉🎉😂
And he rank 9... Lose by SEA country athlet from indonesia...
boring . speed climbing should be done on an unseen route that changes every olympics. what a fake sport.
He should be a firefighter

Love you very much❤️.
1. Second to none.
2. More than half a second (a lot) behind the actual fastest.
3. Got too nervous and celebrated before taping the run.
4. Didn't make it to the finals.
Interesting..
melt
how? because climbing real mountains doesn't give you a medal
INDONESIA win gold medali for speed claim ing, not New Zealand 😂
It's good to be proud, but try to keep it relevant please. The title is "how New Zealand's fastest", not "World" or "Paris Olympic". It's not that wrong.
Is Business Insider purchasing comments and likes???
These guys shouldn’t consider themselves climbers. You can tell there is very little resistance. They can almost just pull themselves up without their feet because of that cable. Let’s put them on some actual rocks and if you worry about getting hurt, put a pad underneath it, pulling on plastic things attached to a cable is not climbing in the least bit, that would kind of be like going to a logging show and watching them chop plastic log with plastic ax not the same
Bugger off, who are you to judge if its climbing or not. Bet you can't even scale a v.dif!
It is its own unique sport. I love climbing, not as much a fan of this - but it is a bit silly to gatekeep to this extent.
I didn't know you owned the term. You can climb up a cliff, a plastic hold, a tree, a ladder, right? Plus, these dudes definitely climb outside, too.
1. Who are you the define what "true climbing" is? The climbing grandmaster?
2. The rope does NOT pull the athlete up. Please dont make claims based on lies.
3. If I went to a logging show and somebody was able to compete using a plastic axe, id be hella impressed lol.
4. Pulling on plastic bits attached to a cable is just indoor climbing. Are you dismissing all of that as "not being climbing" as well?
Dont dismiss this sport as childs play. I share youre citicism for the sport if were talking about lack of creativity, but you do seem a bit angry and quite unfaur towards something you plain dont seem to understand. Have a nice day.
Are you sure you're a climber? Climbers tend to be supportive and motivate others, not being them down. Speed climbing is its own thing, of course it's not on real rock
