SALT LAKE CITY – Excitement is building as the 2024 Paris Olympics are just six months away, and USA Climbing athletes are gearing up for the big event.
Natalia Grossman, a California native who now trains in Salt Lake City, is one of the climbers representing Team USA at the Paris Olympics. She expressed her excitement, saying, “I still don’t have words for it.”
Having competed in international climbing competitions for years, Grossman is looking forward to the unique experience of the Olympics. “My goal has always just been to be there, so I’m not like, I want to win. If that happened, that would be cool. But I just want to do my best and have the best outcome I can have,” Grossman said.
Jesse Grupper, who also moved to Salt Lake City to train with the U.S. national team, shared his thrill at qualifying for the Paris Olympics. “It was an absolute thrill for me. I’m still riding on cloud nine, I would have to say,” Grupper said.
For Grupper, being an Olympian is the realization of a lifelong dream. “Ever since I was a kid, looking at the TV screen watching the Olympics, it was always a dream for me,” he said. ”It is so unreal that it actually happened.”
As the countdown to the 2024 Paris Olympics continues, the anticipation and excitement among the athletes are palpable. The journey of hard work and dedication has led them to this moment, and they are ready to give it their all on the world stage.
Don’t miss the 2024 Paris Olympics, broadcast on KSL-TV, and witness these incredible athletes as they compete for glory.
