On Friday, the men's combined sporting climbing reached its conclusion with the Boulder and Lead finals. Anraku Sorato of Japan had been in imperious form and went into the final day of competition as favorite. However, it was Team GB's Toby Roberts who managed to climb to the gold medal position after scoring a brilliant 92.1 in the Lead.

The women's Boulder and Lead wrapped up on Saturday. Janja Ganbret has been strong throughout, scoring 99.6 in the Boulder semi-final and 96.1 in the Lead semi-final earlier in the week. She didn't let up in the medals battle either, scoring just over 84 in both elements. It meant she ended with a total score of 168.5, beating her nearest rival by 12.5 points and claiming the gold for Slovenia. The USA's Brooke Raboutou leaves Paris 2024 with silver and Jessica Pilz of Austria got bronze.
