Historic bronze
Schubert wins 100th medal in Olympic history
Jakob Schubert won a historic medal on Friday with bronze in climbing. It was Austria's 100th precious metal at the Summer Olympics.
The Tyrolean was only beaten by Britain's Toby Roberts and Japan's Sorato Anraku in the combined event in Le Bourget. The six-time world champion had already finished third at the 2021 Olympic premiere of climbing in Tokyo.
In France, Lara Vadlau/Lukas Mähr had sailed to gold for Austria the day before. Judoka Michaela Polleres took bronze in the first week.
Teenager at the top
Schubert was in fifth place after the boulder part of the final of the best eight. Due to a successful appeal by the French, he was deducted 4.8 points, but kept his place. In his main discipline, lead climbing, he outperformed two competitors. However, he could not get past the 19-year-old Roberts and the 17-year-old top favorite Anraku.
