We are pleased to announce that both Sean McColl (6) and Alannah Yip (14), after a hard fought week of competition in the three disciplines of Bouldering, Lead and Speed, have qualified for the Olympic Combined Event that will determine the top seven athletes that will the qualify to complete in the Olympics next year.

Keep in mind that the Combined event next week will have athletes completing all three disciplines in a single day. These athletes will go through this process once to qualify for finals with the top eight moving forward and completing the process all over again!
After that, the top seven athletes will be qualify for the Olympics, with a max-quota of two for each country, meaning that if the quota is filled, the next athlete in the final ranking from a different country will move forward.
