Paris 2024 Olympics: The teenage climber going for Team GB gold

Climbing is still relatively new to the Olympic Games, but one teenager hopes to be the first to bring home the gold for Team GB this summer in Paris.

Toby Roberts, 18, from Elstead, Surrey, has been training at the Parthian Climbing Centre in Wandsworth, south-west London, on The Titan, an exact replica of the bouldering wall that will be used at the Paris Games.

He's the first British male climber to secure an Olympic spot, following a lead world cup title win at the Chamonix World Cup in July 2023.
