Para Climbing officially confirmed for the LA28 Paralympic Games alongside the announcement of eight medal events with 80 athletes (40 men, 40 women). Four sport classes (there are 10 in World Cups) will mean many disappointed athletes, but it's a start! ifsc-climbing.org/news/para-clim…

People ask me why I haven't deleted the Ukraine air alert app after returning home. It's hard to leave and take your eyes off the map when this is happening most nights, as you think about the people you met there who can't leave.
