Sittingbourne's Erin McNeice Makes Olympic Final

Sittingbourne's Erin McNeice, from Rodmersham Green, has produced a superb display to ensure she’ll compete for a medal in Sports Climbing Boulder & Lead.

The 20-year-old was the second of the twenty competitors to attempt the 15 metre wall. Her score, combined with Tuesday’s (6th August), was enough to secure seventh position and a place in this coming Saturday’s (10th August) final in Paris.

Slovenia's Janja Garnbret occupies the top spot, with France's Oriane Bertone and American Brooke Raboutou in second and third place respectively.

Semi-final scores are scratched after the Lead component and the competition is reset for Saturday's final which will be at 9:15am for Boulder and 11:35am for Lead.
