Watching the women's combined final now, starting with the speed....and fuck! Nonaka missing out on the final due to a tiny slip at the very end

I hope that Megos won't blow another huge opportunity.

looks like this format gives something to cheer about to Speed specialists. they can be happy but not too much ! you can't win a medal by winning the speed and finishing last in two other events but you can still qualify for the Olympics and have a respectable place.

That's why they are trying to have sprint be its own event in 2024 and only have a combined lead/bouldering

Wow, following Nonaka during the lead was a nailbiter  She was behind Mori at some point, but then Garnbret topped faster than Mori, meaning they both fell back a position, which had a much larger influence on Mori's score...making Nonaka pass her. Noguchi putting herself in between them put Mori back in front of Nonaka...Coxsey saved the day for Nonaka.

And it was fun to see her try, especially on boulder. I did feel a bit for her when everyone else failed to even get a zone on that last one and then she had to close it up and she looked like "what on earth am I supposed to do here?"  

 

Like I've said before, speed climbers doing boulder and lead reminds me of sprinters doing a 10k in speed skating
