Spain's Alberto Gines Lopez won the first Olympic sport climbing competition with a stellar run in the speed discipline and a good finish in lead carrying him to the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics on Thursday.
"It's a dream come true," Lopez said. "I didn't expect it at all. I didn't expect to get into the final. A dream come true."
Lopez, 18, is the youngest Spanish man to win an Olympic gold medal.
