When Did Alberto Ginés López Start Climbing?
Alberto started climbing when he was just 3 years old! His parents are climbers and they lived in Sant Cugat del Vallés, a Catalan region, just outside of Barcelona. This area of Spain especially is littered with amazing rock climbing and this is where Alberto would learn and hone his skills – out on real rock.
Is Alberto Ginés López In The Olympics?
Yes, Alberto qualified at the IFSC Combined Qualifier in Toulouse 2019 by taking 7th. He’s definitely invited and will be able to represent Spain and the Catalan region.
Will Alberto Ginés López Win The Olympics?
Initially it wasn’t thought that Alberto would get a medal or even place in the top eight, making it to the finals. However his training in the past year has really paid off and his Speed times were consistently coming down. His main strength is in Lead but he is a strong Boulderer – though not suited to the more modern, co-ordination style that’s in favor.
There is a chance that Alberto Ginés López could take a medal if he gets lucky in Speed climbing, does well in Lead, and places above the middle in Bouldering. It’s an outside chance that relies on others not performing at their best but it is possible.
