World Climbing Series Comunidad de Madrid
Madrid made history of a different kind: it hosted the World Climbing Series debut of the four-lane speed format, four climbers racing side by side instead of the traditional two.
The format is speed climbing's answer to sprint finals in track: more athletes on the wall at once, more chaos, more spectacle. Its debut in Alcobendas was a glimpse of where the discipline is heading as it builds toward the LA28 Olympics, where speed will again be a standalone medal event.
We haven't independently verified the full Madrid speed podiums for our scoreboard, so they're not listed here. What matters most from this stop is the format itself, expect to see four-lane racing again before the season is out.
The podium.

Aleksandra Mirosław
6.03s
A legend of the discipline in her farewell season - every start could be her last on home-continent soil, and she is still fast enough to win.
Zhao Yicheng
4.54s
At 16-17 he already owns the world record and is the clear favorite every time he steps to the wall. The first sub-4.5s run may well be his.
Emma Hunt
5.99s
The fastest woman in history and the standard-bearer for the USA speed program heading toward LA28, even though the Kraków gold slipped away after her record run.
