Listen now
Description
Tom O'Halloran has now qualified to represent Australia in Sport Climbing at the Tokyo Olympics. The Oceania Climbing Championships were held at the end of 2020 giving one athlete for each gender from the region a chance to represent their country at the Olympics. Tom talks about his early climbing journey, (unknowingly) meeting Adam Ondra for the first time, competitions and transitioning from outdoor to indoor climbing. We also get into the decision making process to go for the Olympic spot, the dark headspace in the lead up to the comp and how it changed during the competition. Plus what it may take for Australia to get onto the podium on the world stage. Oceana Mackenzie qualified for Australia in the female category.
