If anyone happens to see a replay for the men's boulder final at the European climbing championships, it'd be great if you can post it :p 

 

It was live on a dailymotion stream, but apparently those aren't available on-demand, so.....tough luck.

I'll be damned, there are full livestreams available in the US? :yikes: 

 

It works like a charm with my VPN, so thank you :d I'll check out for more tomorrow!

What's with this weird scoring system in the bouldering in Munich? :question:

they're trying a new system...it should be more "user friendly", but I don't think they're getting their target...

 

by the way, it's 3 points for a zone and 25 minus 0.1 for each attempt after the first for the Top...

I honestly don't get how it's more user friendly. I mean, imagine you're a random person who - like most people who watch the Olympics or something - has never seen sports climbing in your life.

 

How is a thing with a seemingly random and relative number of points more friendly than simply the absolute number of tops and zones? :d 

 

Edit: just asked my dad, who has never in his life seen competitive climbing. The tops + zones system seemed easy to understand for him, the points system confused him already :d

Watching yesterday's combined (at least I assume the rather cumbersome name 'Boulder & Lead' will be changed to combined :d), and the lead graphics confused me a bit at first. I thought getting anywhere between holds A and B would give 1 point, between C and D 2 points, between E and F 5 points and then 10 points for the top, which would have been a laughably awful scoring system considering one can get 100 points in bouldering. But of course every hold between A and B is worth 1 point, every hold between C and D is worth 2 points and every hold between E and F is worth 5 points, which makes a lot more sense :d 

 

This combined scoring system this way is at least a billion times better than the terrible thing of multiplying positions, which actually is very hard to follow without constantly calculating all the changing possibilities. With this scoring system, once an athlete did boulder + lead, that's their score and that'll remain their score.

    • I would say it highly depends on the traditions of some disciplines in certain countries.   Our national sport TV boradcated Aerials live last season. Czech Reuplic has it in the prime-time of its national sports channel as far as I know. Yes Valenta won his gold more then 20 years ago but it does not matter.  
    • Alpine snowboard is by far the most shown discipline on Eurosport/Discovery in Europe. If it's not clashing with a bunch of other things, they are showing the WC starts live.   Snowboard cross would be the next in line and they are showing starts, but they are fewer and if it's head to head with alpine, alpine will get the advantage.   Halfpipe is occasionally shown and it's usually only some of the NA rounds, when it's the evening here and all other winter sports stuff is over. And they are not showing snooker, golf, cycling etc.    Big Air / Slopestyle is practically non-existent, never shown, unless it's some weird BA in November in the middle of nothing.   And it's the same picture in the Freestyle skiing. Ski cross is the most shown and probably has more races televised, than all other disciplines combined. Halfpipe is so-so from the rest, with BA & Slopestyle non-existent again. Moguls & Aerials are dead, at least i can't remember Eurosport showing their WC events on TV.   This just shows the complete division between Europe and North America. I don't think there is a single European country which prefers airing (or training) the technical disciplines than the racing ones. Which is the complete opposite than what it has been in NA.    
    • Team Event     I have come up with a quick team competition to allow me time to organise it in the short amount of time I have between now and the Grand Final. I will come up with some names for each team in the coming day (hopefully ).     Nations will be divided into 10 teams of 3 and 1 team of 4, making 11 teams in total. For the team of 4, one of those nations will sit on the bench for each of the 4 sessions meaning only the scores of the other 3 nations of that team will count towards the team competition for that particular session. (Canada will sit on the bench in session 1, Denmark will sit on the bench in session 2, China in session 3 and Mexico in session 4).   Teams were assigned based on voting position to help distribute when each team has a voting member as evenly as possible between each session.   The team event will be an elimination-based event where the scores of the team members will be accumulated for that session or quarter and the teams with the lowest combined score will be eliminated and play no further part.   Scores will be reset to zero after each quarter but in the event of a tie-break, the team with the highest ranking in the previous session will win the tie-breaker.   In the event of a tie in the first round, all teams involved in the tie will be advanced to the next round.   See details below about how many teams will be eliminated after each quarter     1st Quarter: 11 teams Top 9 teams advance to next round   2nd Quarter: 9 teams Top 7 teams advance to next round   3rd Quarter: 7 teams Top 5 teams advance to Final   4th Quarter: 5 teams No elimination         Q1 Pts Q2 Pts Q3 Pts Q4 Pts 1  Team 1 0  0  0  0  2  Team 2 0  0  0  0  3  Team 3 0  0  0  0  4  Team 4 0  0  0  0  5  Team 5 0  0  0  0  6  Team 6 0  0  0  0  7  Team 7 0  0  0  0  8  Team 8 0  0  0  0  9  Team 9 0  0  0  0  10  Team 10 0  0  0  0  11  Team 11 0  0  0  0 
    • OK, won't spoil the outcome yet.    The most interesting relay in who knows how long and it was after lunch on a working day... It's idiotic that the Germans don't have the weekday starts in the evening, when people are OFF WORK. If i was advertising i'd be fuming it's not at least at 18-19:00...
    • Took me 2 tries, but I got through the 2nd time around
    • One of the best-ever Women's Relays this afternoon in Ruhpolding.  Unfortunately stuck away on a midweek afternoon so not many people will have seen it.  Must watch though.  No spoilers yet!
    • The IOC is very TV ratings and ticket sale focused when it comes to sports to add / drop, seemingly. Which is probably not the best metric to use, but it does explain why alpine snowboarding is in more trouble than something like aerials or ski half-pipe (which should probably be closer to the chopping block if we go by competitive depth).
    • Thursday January 15th, 2026 - Round-Robin Day 3 Schedule (GMT +1)   13:00   Japan vs France 16:30   Denmark vs Norway 20:00   Italy vs Germany
    • all races are shown on public tv in places like Italy, Austria and streamed all around the Continent on the Discovery+/HBO Max popularity, instead, is another story... except maybe in Austria, tv ratings are marginal and the athletes are basically unknown, like in all the non-mainstream sports (which means, here in Italy, football, ferrari and -the newcomer in the last few years- Sinner, who replaced Valentino Rossi in this very poor list)   ps at least, there are quite a few kids practicing the sport in our mountain villages
    • Finally got in as well after about an hour-ish in line.
