American climber Sam Watson has once again made headlines in the world of climbing by breaking his own world record in the men's speed climbing event. The 18-year-old athlete set a short-lived Olympic record at Le Bourget and has now surpassed that achievement by scaling a 15-meter wall in just 4.75 seconds.
This impressive feat shaved off 0.04 seconds from the time Watson previously set at a World Cup event in China back in April. His remarkable performance has secured him the top spot in the standings during the heats, earning him a spot in the speed climbing final scheduled for Thursday.
Watson's exceptional skills and determination have not gone unnoticed, as he will be joined by seven other talented athletes in the final round once the heats conclude. Climbing enthusiasts and sports fans alike are eagerly anticipating the thrilling competition that lies ahead as these top climbers vie for victory.
