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)

Vail is the last Boulder of the season...

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

well, last year she was the youth world champion in Boulder...so, she's supposed to deliver in this discipline more than the others sooner or later...

 

however, I don't really understand our technical committee...we have a clear Combined leader like Schenk (by far the our biggest talent, already 4th at the YOG last year just behind established world cup climbers) and they didn't even try to make him climb in the world cup stages nor they've brought him here at the world champs...

do they really belive that Ghisolfi, Piccolruaz or Rogora can make the Games?

however, OK...it's the world championship, but once again (like last year) they're just killing the show with such kind of routes, especially for the girls...

I liked the first route. This second one is completely ridiculous though.

[Gianlu33 4,750]

They decided to have very hard boulders... Meh, this killing the competition

[phelps 7,862]

this second route is not "difficult"...it's "impossible"...

 

curious to see if at least Janja could go beyond the first move...frankly, now I'm almost falling asleep...

 

I hope the next 2 routes are at least "playable"...

[phelps 7,862]

to me, they should forget about the yellow handle and try and stabilize their position on the first blue...then going "upwards"...
