American climber Sam Watson has once again made headlines in the world of climbing by breaking his own world record in the men's speed climbing event. The 18-year-old athlete set a short-lived Olympic record at Le Bourget and has now surpassed that achievement by scaling a 15-meter wall in just 4.75 seconds.
This impressive feat shaved off 0.04 seconds from the time Watson previously set at a World Cup event in China back in April. His remarkable performance has secured him the top spot in the standings during the heats, earning him a spot in the speed climbing final scheduled for Thursday.
