> This is also why every climber complained about speed climbing

not every climber. Its clearly a different discipline. Thats why boldering/lead is separate from speed climbing.

But then lead is different to top rope and sport different to trad. And indoor is very different to outdoor.

It wasn't separate in the previous Olympics, that's my point.

Except for trad most climbers I know do a mix of all of these.

Speed climbing is just so different from everything else that I don't even know one climber out of the hundred or so that I know that does it regularly.
