his style might not be perfect, but he's the best climber ever...and his climbs on the most difficult walls out in the mountains are something unbelievable, watching him on a 9b/9c wall is just amazing...

Our climbing grades are very different :p

Who on earth is supposed to beat Garnbret in Tokyo, apart from possibly Noguchi? :d 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I would actually label Noguchi and Garnbret as equal favorites. Their both really weak in speed climbing, so presumably a decent boulder and lead climber could leap frog them with an outstanding performance. I would put some money on Coxsey or Kim to battle for the podium.

right now, :AUT Jessica Pilz and maybe, but I don't think she's in the same class as the other 3 girls over the 3 events, :KOR Kim Ja In...

 

someone among the rest of the Japanese armada could well improve a lot, in any case...it's too early to make serious predictions on an event like the "combined"...most of the top athletes are still trying to understand if they can find their way to be competitive in more than 1 or 2 disciplines...things could change a lot in more than a year, I think...

Coxsey? no way...she's always been good only in bouldering...and I don't think she's gonna improve that much in the other disciplines to be a contender in Tokyo...I'd rather bet on Garnbret to improve her speed skills (she said she's training at that and she's gonna start in a few discipline's world cup events this year...

 

Noguchi right now is even slower than Garnbret in the speed event...we have to wait and see if she wants/can improve that section of the game, otherwise she's risking to lose her "virtual" silver medal rather than improving to gold...

Qualifying for the final with 0 tops...this seems a little poor.
