decent placing for Laura Rogora in her Achille's Heel discipline...hopefully, she can deliver some great stuff in her 2 favourites climbs (Boulder & Lead)...

I don't get this multiplying thing. Your final score directly depends on what your opponents do.

 

There should be some absolute scores, like there are in decathlon and eventing.

actually, this combined event shouldn't exist at all...

 

sport climbing has always been about the 2 (then 3) standalone disciplines...

 

this thing to get an Olympic opportunity is just against its own nature and sucks big time, no matter how do you manage to build the final score...

watching those sprint specialists trying to face a boulder problem and/or a lead climb is just a waste of time, humiliating for the athletes and senseless for the fans...

great start by Laura Rogora...storming through the first Boulder...

 

at a first look, today's routes don't seem too selective...most likely, we're going to see many 4T4Z scores...

Laura doesn't look to have perfectly read the 3rd problem...

[phelps 7,741]

no good...no top for Laura in the 3rd problem...she's not gonna earn a good multiplying factor also in boulder...

 

and the fuc*in' live scoring system looks to have stopped updating...
