So far in the Combined evebts, Speed and Bouldering competitions have already taken place. This is the last event- Lead Qualification- before we move on to the final.
15-year-old Maibam is the one to watch in these events. He can be a force to be reckoned with in the future international events. Obviously taking a scenario when Sports Climbing does make the roster of a multi-sport event again.
As it stands, the three are currently competing in the Lead Qualification. Maibam has been given no. 11 on the start list, while Bharath no. 17. IN the Women's event, Shreya is no. 4 on the list.
Over the past two days, the trio competed in Speed and Bouldering events. Maibam shone on the first day, with Bharath and Shreya not far behind. On the second day of Sport Climbing, however, it was Bharath who proved to be the best of the three.
