Thankfully no problems. People seemed to think it was odd that a 19 year old in a climbing gym shirt was accredited for this event :p

 

Gym is by far the largest I’ve been in. Really impressive facilities. There’s a actually a good crowd already hanging out about and hour and a half before the Speed comp. The venue is quite literally next door to LAX, so if someone does have Coronavirus, we can ship their ass off :p

This will be my first event as accredited press! I’ll have articles up on Totallympics Media, and maybe an interview or two for the podcast.

Alrighty, I’m en route to the venue. I should get there a bit before the scheduled start of Speed. Hopefully, I’ll be able to bring y’all good coverage. If I’m able to, I be “live tweeting” from my pe

Got to speak with the IFSC Communications Director. I’m literally completely out of my league right now. Now, we just sitting across from each doing work. The perks of putting in hours of effort into building a good media organization I suppose. I’m so happy that I get this privilege, and I get to share it with all of you. Remember, updates will most likely be on my personal Twitter (scores, personal observations, comments).

Yes, for sure. They’ll be in a article published too. Might publish the article first in order to make the press conferences, and other fun stuff.

Quick, what’s the nicest way to ask a Brazilian or Spanish speaking athlete for an interview?

I'm confused with the results page. The speed and bouldering results looks wrong.

 

But :CAN is in first and on pace to win so I don't mind :p

Bouldering isn’t done. We’re just about to start the third problem. The Canadians are in fact killing it. Rojas is out I’m afraid. Contreras looks good too. Aguado looks terrible. Americans are meh.

Can confirm that she did in fact get the quota, despite two Chilean protests (Boulder and Lead from my understanding). I have no clue what those concerned, but Yip was by far the best climber today. I did manage to get an interview with her, but I don’t know how much will be usable. I got an interview with Contreras as well.

 

Overall, I really enjoyed myself, and climbing was great. The layout of gym is really bad for those type of competition though.

      Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.

      Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.

      Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig

      2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.

      Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.

      Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
