One household, two Tokyo Olympians. Austrian competition legend Jakob Schubert and world-class Italian rock and competition climber Michael Piccolruaz share more than just a living space — they have the same birthday (Dec 31 - Jakob 1990, Michael 1995) and they'll be competing together on the Olympic stage in Tokyo next month, with high hopes for making finals or even a podium place. Friends, training partners, rivals (mostly when it comes to chess) - what's it like to live and train together ahead of Sport Climbing's big debut?
