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...

I don't think this is a bad idea, just it shouldn't be the only chance for Olympics in this sport

I see it differently...as I wrote, I'm a damn old conservative traditionalist...

 

I don't like combined events at all...it's like mixing pears and apples...

But then you get a nice fruit salad.

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...

Should've followed Asian Games: combine lead and bouldering, leave speed alone

 

Or just kick bouldering, I can't enjoy it at all

however, 3T4Z for Laura...hopefully, she can climb a few positions in the provisional ranking, but surely she would eventually need a masterful lead climb to earn her Olympic spot...

I'm for the 3 disciplines = 3 different sets of medals...

 

by the way, the Asian Games format looks like the one we're going to have in paris 2024, with 2 competitions per gender (the Boulder + Lead combo and Speed as a standalone event)...

[phelps 7,846]

for Kazbekova...she must be feeling a really strong pain in her left ankle...despite that, good 2T4Z for her in the bouldering section...

I've really tried to understand the principle of having already qualified athletes/athletes that cannot qualify to a olympics QUALIFYING tournament ... but I just can't get it
