decision in the midst, december 6th, a knob, a coming up next. rock climbing becomes an olympic sport. and i'll show folks what's live coming up next and up next. and remember, you can keep up to date on all websites, t w dot com. i am told me a lot of folks watching blood is for me, is for you through the glass. is for is for the

beethoven is for cars. is for the big beethoven 2020, the 250th anniversary here on the people

have been climbing since the dawn of time. originally for practical reasons, on the lookout for food predators. today, most people climb for recreational purposes in the great artificial cliffs of us enough. so then the simply an unknown test going on in fits in when he's got this in place, best fatah has made the most of those possibilities. now 24, she was 2019. german champion in the olympic combine, discipline 2800 national bouldering champ, and is always up at the top in world cup competitions. amount, she has her sights set on a limb, pick glory. bouldering is climbing without

a rope. harness up to a height of 4 and a half meters, where you can still detach safely without a real risk of injury. thanks also to those cushioned floor mats, the competitive variety is against the clock. the athletes are free to choose their path to the. but there are pre-determined hand and foot holds up a start. the objective is to maintain the top hold for at least 3 seconds. that's what i understood arms from then to simply an implied, turn the next in my class, dexter, discipline, as an affable. this is all fun and i'm up to complex climbing as a sport really took off in the 1970s,

international federation of sport climbing was set up in frankfurt, germany in 2007. and currently has $81.00 countries signed up. it's the organizer of the world championships and world cups, and in 2021 for the 1st time, the olympic meets picked up in the sun and you'll miss part of this program for the union. but i think climbing is booming in popularity. germany, where it tends to be in the cities now has over $500.00, indoor venues with around $25.00 more each year. you can choose always new challenges. and when you, when you climbed, you focused only on, on the wallet, on your way. and you think about nothing else,

only your way of climbing has a dizzying appeal to people of all ages and levels of ability for some, it's an after work all weekend told me where the indoors or outdoors finish this position and haven't been since the german alpine club has the hots for 1000000 members. as it turns out, i began, i mean, i was on my best spot as one of almost 2000 competitive climbers in germany. and one of the select few who had hopes of featuring in the 2021 summer olympics in tokyo

is only for stern and fun. olympia does him what he said. and yeah, he's ever lived chuffed and stopped us guns because i know those after the months. nice. ok. and also what was once a seminal, i miss, but even when this elitism and it's not just climbing that's set for an olympic debut in tokyo, skateboarding karate and surfing will also feature for the 1st time. continuing a trend, the international olympic committee has been trying for years to incorporate sports with a bigger appeal for the younger generation, such as mountain biking, rugby, sevens, beach, volleyball, and b.m.x. . sports economist and former olympic rowing gold medalist boys going many has been following the development of course it will help financially as well.

sports like climbing and skateboarding, a lot of attention media attention and this will secure that c.r.'s. you have high incomes that say from t.v. revenue, for example. also in the future the olympic premiere for climbing will involve a newly devised format, a limb, pick combine with 3 disciplines. speed needs no explaining. 1st to the top is the winner of the lead. discipline involves different difficult levels on balls up to 15 meters high, and bouldering all 3, exactly the ultimate dedication from the athletes. the training regimen has become far tougher, and the constant jump between the different disciplines is not just a major mental challenge.

some of the simply being run in their you and you're not into that. that's never lost. and i 1st got the climbing bug as a young girl from the wardrobes in her parent's home to trees and cliffs outdoors. she grew up in weimar. not a city with mountains close by, but she managed to find a productive training program by accident

or even told us, we also happened and as she scaled new heights on the climbing wall. so did i almost career in 2012, she competed in her 1st international youth championships, and 3 years later was invited to join the national team. now she's climbing in international contests around the world. but together with a personal and professional satisfaction from climbing, the sport also comes with a set max. as our best father found out in march this year when she suffered a serious elbow injury that meant surgery. and then no training. and as for the olympics, isn't such a hotel

for that folks also got a lot of support from her fellow climbers who helped her overcome this difficult time and it would be a challenging road to recovery after the surgery. ringback first physiotherapy to get her muscles back in shape and then in may, i return to basic a low stress climbing session. unlike other athletes, the postponement of the summer games to 2021 provided an additional motivation for the fish to learn to type was one method mr. tom often for your efforts in august was able to put full strain on her arm again

and also enabling her to step up to training. working with weights has been an important part of that. during one exercise session will lift a total of around 4 times together with her coach. she's been trying everything to make a swift return to her former level of performance. this november will be in moscow for the european championships, which is also her last opportunity to qualify for the olympics. cantered said, in the course minor shank's, this was enough to call that cancer of us here. and really fabulous on myself. miss me doesn't fit us each country can send 2 women and 2 men to tokyo,

for germany. alexander may goes and the young who have already secured their tickets. both are highly experienced climbers. alexander 2nd in the lead climbing discipline had the world championships and is a multiple winner of world cup event is a bouldering specialist discipline. he's already won a number of domestic titles in but taking part in the olympics has a very special allure to both of them. from the internet it's put on that in the in the common its own importance. the upcoming european championships in moscow will see plenty of competition for the prospect of the olympics is a massive motivating factor. there's only one spot left in the german squad for

tokyo. i'm grabbing it will demand nerves confidence and perhaps a bit of luck when i 1st, extreme few in this moment. or understand what's outside of this until it's the time

when streets sparkle with color. when houses guard down and the art works are beautiful and tasty. then it's time for you all masks this time. it's stylish masterpiece. and more beer. what else is there today? i want to find out what unix got to offer for trying to come here for education. how about art, history and culture. music's really got something 16 invites us to see people in particular
