The World Cup started last weekend with bouldering in Japan, but I forgot where to watch the full replays now that it's not on YouTube anymore. Anyone?  

 

I vaguely remember maybe the Olympic Channel, but that website is such a bitch to navigate especially when trying to avoid spoilers, and I'm far from sure it's on there... (I hope not, since their player is bad and doesn't even have hotkey functionality if I'm not mistaken)

 

Edit: found it, and I had forgotten, it's on Discovery/Eurosport's digital channels

Discovery+ / Eurosport Player has it all (at least, here in Italy...but I think it's a whole European thing).

4.90 WR for Veddriq Leonardo  at the IFSC Speed Climbing World Cup in Seoul, Korea. First man in sport climbing history to ever break the five-second-barrier. What’s even more impressive is the fact that Veddriq did it not once, not twice, but three times during the competition. 4.98 during the qualification round, 4.90 during the quarterfinals and 4.93 during the semifinal. In the final, he stuttered near the end, and ended up clocking a 5.01.

Another WR went down at IFSC Speed World Cup in Seoul, Korea, as Aleksandra Miroslaw  clocked a 6.25, breaking her existing WR four times in the process (Her previous WR was 6.53, which means she shaved 0.28 off today).
 

Miroslaw’s first WR at this event came during the first qualification round (6.46), then broke it again during the second qualification round (6.37), then lowered it in semifinals (6.35), and the finals (6.25). Really excited to see what she can do in Paris.

Fossali set the new "official" European Record with 5.20, and despite this, he was eliminated in the 1st round.

The unofficial ER (and the official italian NR) is the Zurolini's 5.04, but the IFSC will not reknow it

I believe this is Garnbret's first world cup of the season. I hope to see her back on that first spot soon!

 

I've been bouldering a bit more myself recently. Such a great sport for both spectators and (amateur) athletes.

 all entered athletes in the women’s bouldering at Brixen World Cup. They all failed to score a single zone, but still nice to see some new nations giving the sport a try. They would need to be ranked within the Top 36 of the Olympic Series rankings to have a shot at the universality quota.

Another total failure for the Italian team a Bressanone  Only Fogu, at the WC debout, qualify for the semifinals.

we're stuck to old training methods, for our athletes competitive climbing is only a pastime between a free climb on natural routes and another...

 

when there was no competition, it was enough to shine once every while, nowadays that's not enough anymore, but they don't understand it, or maybe they're just not interested...

 

sad, but true.
