Emma Hunt's sub-6 record
Emma Hunt just rewrote women's speed climbing.
The American clocked 5.99 seconds at the World Climbing Series in Kraków, becoming the first woman ever to break the six-second barrier [Quelle: World Climbing]. She earned Athlete of the Week honors after dominating the mixed relay and placing bronze in the women's speed final. That sub-6 split marks a watershed moment—the ceiling that looked unreachable six months ago is now in the crosshairs for the next generation.
Watch who chases it down next.
