I don't think this is a bad idea, just it shouldn't be the only chance for Olympics in this sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've followed Asian Games: combine lead and bouldering, leave speed alone Or just kick bouldering, I can't enjoy it at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,872 Posted November 29, 2019 #55 Share Posted November 29, 2019 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...

phelps 6,872 Posted November 29, 2019 #58 Share Posted November 29, 2019 for Kazbekova...she must be feeling a really strong pain in her left ankle...despite that, good 2T4Z for her in the bouldering section... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalamAkhi 278 Posted November 29, 2019 #59 Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) 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 Edited November 29, 2019 by SalamAkhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
