Notes

Tokyo 2020, chalk bag used by Alberto GINÉS LÓPEZ (ESP), Olympic champion. If a climber has sweaty hands, chalk makes them less prone to slip, offering a better grip on the holds. Chalk bags stop the chalk from getting damp and are carried next to the body. They have to be easy to attach, and to open and close with both hands. Donated by the athlete
