Understandably, the schedule of the surfing competition will be flexible dependent on the weather and waves -- heats and events may be rescheduled to a later time when better conditions are forecasted. Speed climbing pits two competitors against each other to see who can scale a 15-meter wall, set at a 95-degree angle, the fastest. In bouldering, climbers tackle as many fixed routes as they can within an allotted time frame, climbing on a 4.5-meter wall without safety ropes, but with safety mats to fall on and restart if necessary.
Two disciplines of karate will be featured at this year’s Olympics: kata and kumite. Kata is the demonstration discipline, where solo athletes are judged on karate techniques. Kumite is the fighting discipline, where athletes compete head-to-head -- there are three weight classes for both men and women.
