Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Competition climbing made its Olympic debut at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan[1] (postponed to 2021[2] due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Two events were held, one each for men and women. The format controversially consisted of one combined event with three disciplines: lead climbing, speed climbing and bouldering. The medals were determined based on best performance across all three disciplines. This format was previously tested at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics. The Olympic code for sports climbing is CLB.
