Ukraine won first ever medal in women's lead - and it's a silver for Kazbekova, who finally won a medal from EuCh
Ievgeniia Kazbekova become first-ever Ukrainian athlete in sport climbing at the Olympics 
So proud of her after she injured her leg at the Olympic Qualifier in France last cycle and got COVID before EuCh.

Laura...
unfortunately, she wasted her best boulder in the qualification round...if only she could repeat that kind of performance today, she would have got the OQP
Frankly speaking, Laura's weak link is definitely a B-component in B&L, so it was quite predictable. But she really fought hard in the Lead wall, I think she easily qualifies via OQS.
It's a solid Qualifier for our biggest hope Zhenya Kazbekova 
with important incremental improvements in her technique after training in the USA and Canada. Good experience after injury in a previous World Qualifier in France and failed the COVID-19 test right before the European Qualifier.
ExpandGreat race for the title on the men’s side. Boldyrev

ExpandSince The Ninja challenge (Tv show) is well dominated by Climbing athletes, the Sport is getting here more and more attention, @Illyacan you help me understand the chances of Israeli athletes in this competition and the chances of going to Tokyo?
Difficult question , 'cause I doesn't know any interesting information about Israeili athletes. But Levi and Khazanov have chances
Still they both will be in top 20. 
Yohai, 
Siruckova and 
Michalkova has some chance to advance but not very big.
OMG
Honig and Kalucka out in Lead
Wow , my Totallympics reputation grows up too fast ??
ExpandIf she wins speed, during the combined event, she’ll have a fair chance. It would still be pretty hard for her to qualify since she’s a speed specialist though.
Based on form in past seasons, Gejo and Klinger are probably the favorites for the quota.
Klinger already obtained her quota
You just missed ExpandDid you find somewhere this results or you're counting yourself? I'm not sure for 100% that I'm right but from what I remember from WCh you should count only positions of competitors who start in all three events. For example Kałucka was 4th in speed but 1st if you count only athletes who start both speed and lead. That's why top 10 looks like this (I think):
1. Meshkova 11
2. A. Kałucka 14
3. Caulier 18
4. Gejo 18
5. N. Kałucka 32
6. Hoenig 48
7. Krasovskaia 49
8. Doerfell 60
8. Klingler 60
10. Bestvater 60
Absolutely accurate . I calculate full rankings after 2/3

No no no , in WCh in pre-qualification were counted all climbers

Spring Nationals, Day #3 Sara Curtis MVP of day 3 of the Italian Spring Nationals! after improving her PB in the women's 100m freestyle already in the morning heats, in the afternoon final she destroyed not only her previous limit, but also the 9-year old National Record, previously held by our swimming icon Federica Pellegrini 53.01 is the new record in the same race, Emma Virginia Menicucci was 2nd in 54.14 (big new PB for her) and Chiara Tarantino was 3rd in 54.28 given that Tarantino has a sub-54 PB and also Sofia Morini (here completely out of shape) is a sub-54 swimmer at her best, now the Italian women's 4*100m free relay begins to look like a good one (sure, USA and AUS are out of reach, but the rest of the world is not so far away anymore more on Today's Finals: men's 800m Free: 1.Davide Marchello, 7.53.32 women's 200m IM: 1.Sara Franceschi, 2.10.95; 2.Anita Gastaldi, 2.10.97 (PB), both World qualifying times men's 200m IM: 1.Alberto Razzetti, 1.58.05 (again definitely below the expectations, something's not good with him this week ); 2.Christian Mantegazza, 1.58.95 (big PB, class of 2005) men's 100m Free: 1.Manuel Frigo, 48.34; 2.Carlos D'Ambrosio, 48.60 (very disappointed with him...he should have swum 1 second faster); 3.Lorenzo Zazzeri, 48.62; 4.Alessandro Miressi, 48.74 even if we can add Ceccon and maybe Deplano (if he convince himself he can swim fast also the 100m and not only the 50m), the 4*100m relay's perspective is really depressing women's 1500m Free: 1.Simona Quadarella, 16.03.77 in the club relays (the 4*100m medley relays), among the women, Sara Curtis swam "only" 1.01 in the backstroke leg, Bottazzo had a good 1.05.40 in the breastroke leg, confirming his win over the individual distance wasn't a fluke and Tarantino (53.68) and Menicucci (54.11) confirmed the value of their clockings from the individual race also with the flying start among the men, Bacico swam even better than the individual race winning effort (53.42) in the backstroke leg, Martinenghi edged out Viberti in the breastroke leg (58.70 to 58.99), Burdisso swam a decent 50.8 in the fly leg and finally Manuel Frigo confirmed himself the best 100m free specialist of the moment with an impressive 47.2 stint

Wrestling is getting a complete overhaul here and the scandals have began as usual. I will lay a not so quick summary of the situation. Last month there were Elections for the Wrestling Federation, where the legend Stanka Zlateva (2 OG medals, 5 World & 6 European titles) was elected President. Earlier in the year she very vividly blamed in the media the old guard for bringing in an armada of foreigners and allegedly destroying the Bulgarian kids in the sport. She also said, that they wanted to take away her junior wrestlers from her club and move them to national selections with different coaches, while she wanted to continue working with them. After getting lots of attention Zlateva decided to run in the elections. She again was mentioning, that it was unacceptable to have so many foreigners and wrestling needs an overhaul. Going into the elections she had support, but wasn't a favourite. Don't know what exactly happened on the day, but everyone else (including the old regime) withdrew and Zlateva was the only one left. A few days after she was elected there were news, that the majority of the Federation's employees were quitting and didn't want to work for her (probably encouraged from the old regime). At one point there were concerns that the teams could miss the European Championships, because of these organizational issues, but luckily they sorted it out. Now that the Euro is over, today they announced that all National team coaches were fired. The new NT coaches are: Men's Greco - Stoyan Dobrev - UWW Coach of the year in 2023, he led Serbia to 4 Golds at the 2022 Worlds. After the revolution he did for Serbian Greco he is coming home to take over GR. Men's Freestyle - Radoslav Velikov (Olympic Medalist, World Champion). As a coach, alongside Simeon Shterev, he had coached the Women's National teams of China, Azerbaijan and Russia until Covid. Then they returned to coach clubs here. Women's Freestyle - Simeon Shterev - A veteran of coaching Women's wrestling for 20-30 years. He discovered Stanka Zlateva and was the biggest figure here during her reign. After her career there were some issues and he was practically exiled, hence why he went to lead the NTs of China, Azerbaijan and Russia like i mentioned above. We will see what happens next and how they will try to "revive" Bulgarian wrestling, but it's not been a good start. Yesterday there was another semi scandal. The Greco team returned from the Euro with a Gold and Silver and there were many people to greet them, but no one from the new Federation....

Absolutely, there was at first all-around with 3 disciplines, where lead/boulder specialists were favorites, then it was replaced by Lead+Boulder combined, where lead specialists was favorites because of greater gaps that can be achieved in lead climbing, and now these are separate disciplines where it depends only on what each climber could do best (or who is Janja Garnbret who will win 2 golds)
