Sport Climbing IFSC World Championships 2019

[phelps 7,666]

in today's men's boulder quali, only Ondra and Chon saved the honor of the rest of the world in front of the mighty Japanese armada, capable of placing all of their 7 contenders in the top 12 of the ranking (5 in the top 7)...

 

for Italy, good result for Piccolruaz (also in preview of the Olympic Combined event), but now he really needs to change to another gear to improve from his quali position...will he be capable of that?

I hate that the Boulder Semifinals and Finals are on the same day. It makes the event impossible to cover as a journalist. Plus, the Tokyo time zone doesn’t help.

Crap, boulder finals today already. I'm a little behind on watching the season and am now finishing up the Wujiang boulder World Cup  Still Munich, Vail, Villars, Chamonix and Briançon to go  (not sure which of those are boulder as well, apart from Munich which is)

Very interesting competition today. I’m pulling some form of a semi all-nighter just to watch

The Italian girl really struggled because of her height in the Semifinal . This should be a great final though.

I saw, but she isn't here fod the the boulder event, this is just a plus. She is our specialist for the combined event, this is like a trainin (and a qualification for the semifinals) I guess
