Sport Climbing IFSC World Cup 2022

Splitting bouldering and lead might be a bit more difficult. It was quite clear that sprint was different than the other two events while these two are similar enough in terms of skill that someone at the IOC may not see the difference.

 

The good news is they don't need to request a lot of quotas. If a split bouldering and lead event were to have the same number of athletes as sprint, they only need to request 8 men and 8 women quotas. Though I wish they would bump sprint up to at least 16 so there are no byes during the elimination bracket.

 finish 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 at the first Speed World Cup of the year. Oh, and…Kiromal Katibin casually sets the new WR a 5.17  @Griff88

And then they work their way up to a fantastic final, former against now current world record holder...only to have that final be a huge anticlimax due to false starts  

 

Such a great event, with great races, ending in such a way...that was unfortunate.

He hasn’t found too much success on the World Cup (4th at Salt Lake last year was best previous result), but Brosler finished in the top 16 at the last two world championships, and was 5th at the 2017 World Games. He

Katibin inching ever closer to the 5.00 mark. Another WR in qualification today.
