From Phenoms to Medal Favorites, Meet 26 Women Athletes Ready to Shine at the Olympics

Sport: Sport Climbing
Country: USA

In August 2019, Brooke Raboutou became the first American to qualify for the Olympics in sport climbing, a sport that combines three disciplines of rock climbing: lead climbing, speed climbing, and bouldering. Raboutou already has several world titles under her belt and comes from a family of climbers (her mom won four consecutive World Cup titles), and she'll need all of that experience and grit to compete for Olympic gold. One of Brooke's primary goals at the Games, though: to grow her sport in front of a global audience.
