Re: Did you know...
The 4 in that list are the Africa quota qualifiers (1 male and 1 female in each discipline).
Final qualification rounds are only end of May/June, and we have 2 more climbers with a fair chance of qualifying (although I think only 1 will try).

Re: Did you know...
Did you know..
Olympic rock climbing was only introduced in 2018 as an Olympic sport. There are 3 disciplines in Olympic rock climbing bouldering, speed and lead. It has become very popular since then. In speed climbing the best athletes scale a 15m wall in less than 6 seconds!
Take a look at this. Yoh!!

The world's biggest common rale diesel engine is in the Maersk cargo ship Emma. Its a monster weighing 2300 tonnes. The 14 cylinders can produce over 100 000hp and 7 000 000Nm of torque. Redline is 102rpm!
Pushing the 150,000 tons giant ahead at a blistering speed(for cargo ships) of 30 knots.
Amazing!!

Shooting a gun does not make you a badass, But shooting an arrow from the back of a horse, with no bridle, no saddle, all while jumping over a 2' hurdle does. Meet the original Mustang Sally!
