Julian David, representing New Zealand in men’s speed climbing at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, is gearing up for one of his last events before the Games, the IFSC World Cup in Chamonix, France. Alongside his teammate, Sarah Tetzlaff, Julian trains intensively for 25 to 30 hours a week with their coach, Rob Moore, to prepare for the upcoming Olympics. The pair are the first from New Zealand to qualify for this standalone event at the 2024 Olympics.
During the 2024 Paris Olympics, Sam Watson broke his own world record with a time of 4.75 seconds, while Julian David achieved a new personal best of 5.2 seconds. The difference between their times has narrowed to 0.41 seconds, highlighting the intense competition in the world of speed climbing.
To compete at the highest level, Julian David and Sarah Tetzlaff dedicate themselves to their training regimen, pushing themselves to new limits in preparation for the 2024 Olympics. With their coach guiding them every step of the way, they aim to represent New Zealand with pride on the international stage.
