After initial tickets to the Paris Olympics were granted at last year's World Championships and regional events (Oceania for New Zealand), the final entries have been up for grabs in recent weeks at a series of two competitions, held in Shanghai and Budapest.
With the first Olympic Qualifier Series competition in China just a week away, the Salt Lake City Boulder World Cup was a chance for athletes who hadn't yet competed this year to have a final tune-up. While for those few who have already qualified it was an opportunity to measure their progress as they aim to peak for the Olympic Games in August.
