no, it's not wrong...as they used only the quali in each discipline (not the overall result, as I wrote just a few seconds ago)...

 

 

I think they considered the overall result . not the qualification. but they removed the other athletes from the list. (for example speed specialists who didn't enter other events)

Kim is 16th tied with another in lead and 17th tied with another in boulder

16.5×35×17.5= 10106.25

Owww, so they did it right and I am wrong with a simple math

yeah, I wrote it later that I was misinterpretating the standings...

thanks, finally we've got everything in the right place...

 

but they should explain that they used the average between the 2 tied places...because from that ranking (they clearly reported 16th, noth position #16.5 and so on) it looks that they made wrong calculations...

Probably they didn't think that someone can calculate this on his own

Watching the speed finals now and the commentator made a bit of a weird remark: "Iuliia Kaplina broke the world record...more than seven times!"

 

So what, she broke it eight times? Why not just say "She broke the world record eight times" then?

Maybe he remembers seven, but is not sure if it was eight or even more. I don't know, just guessing.

Finished watching and I'm disappointed  

- Alipour and Mawem, my two favourite speed climbers, out because of an early mistake
- Song on her way to a potential world record in the semi but slipped and lost
- Fossali in the final because Boldyrev made a false start in the semi
- Jaubert took bronze in the only possible way: because someone else slipped (all her wins I've seen were because of slips or false starts)
- Disappointingly poor men's final and to make it worse, Kriz lost (I like Kriz, much like Alipour and Mawem he climbs with some sort of awesome animalistic style, as if nature made them for this...it's like watching a work of art) 

 

At least Miroslaw's fantastic time in the final made up for some disappointments

And after two weeks of watching a lot of climbing (pretty much the entire season except for Moscow which I had seen at the time) I'm now finally all caught up and updated  

 

Very much enjoyed both the boulder and lead competitions at these championships  Even though I'm a bit underwhelmed with the overall atmosphere as compared to Innsbruck, which seemed much 'bigger' and impressive.

and it's not good for heart if you are watching

 

. speed will be in 2024 Olympic program. I really hope they change the format by then. a best of 3 run won't take too much time.

Considering the attention span of today's sports viewers, speed climbing runs are way too long. They take at least 5-6 seconds man, how can one stay engaged that long?!

 

Spoiler

 They should have a best-of-3 format before anything else, better yesterday than today even
