In an intense twist of fate, teammates from Team France found themselves battling against each other for a coveted spot in the 2024 Olympics during the Men’s Olympic Qualifier Series final. While stars like Adam Ondra and Dohyun Lee had already secured their tickets to Paris in the semi-finals, the drama was far from over for the French team.
Paul Jenft, Sam Avezou, and Mejdi Schalck had all accumulated impressive scores, surpassing some already-qualified athletes. However, Olympic rules limited each country to only two male representatives, leading to an emotionally charged showdown in the finals to determine who would represent France.
Jenft, despite his strong performance, didn’t make it past the semi-finals. This left Avezou and Schalck to battle it out, knowing their Olympic dreams would come at the expense of their teammate. The Boulder round was grueling, with Avezou performing the best among the competitors, placing him in a strong position heading into the Lead round.
In the Lead round, Avezou’s consistent performance secured him the gold with 105.6 points, thus earning his Olympic spot. Schalck, unfortunately, fell short, placing sixth overall and missing out on the Olympic team.
After his victory, Avezou expressed mixed emotions, elated with his win but empathetic towards his teammate. He voiced a heartfelt plea for more spots in future Olympics to avoid such painful scenarios. This emotional and thrilling final highlighted not only the competitive spirit of the athletes but also the deep camaraderie and mutual respect that defines their sport.
