While preparing to watch the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics at home, sports climber Zhong Qixin found that he had a chance to compete at the 2020 Games in Tokyo.

Sports climbing, together with baseball/softball, karate, skateboarding and surfing, were approved by the International Olympic Committee on Wednesday for inclusion in the Tokyo Games.

Because of Zhong's ability, his sport is considered a medal opportunity for China in the Japanese capital.
