Notes

Tokyo 2020, climbing block and holds. In sport climbing, a hold is a protrusion or a hollow that the climbers use to move upwards, standing on and gripping the holds. They are placed on either side of the vertical axis to create paths of varying difficulty known as routes. Some of the ones we have received were signed by athletes, in particular silver medallist Nathaniel Coleman (USA). Donated by the OCOG
