Commentator Charlie Bosco isn't really good at keeping track of the live scores, is he? I'm watching the women's final now and the first three women have finished the lead section. Aguado is at the moment on 14 points (2nd in speed, 7th in boulder, 1st in lead), Rojas on 16 points (1st, 8th, 2nd) and Bosco said "that means Rojas is now out of contention for the Olympic ticket".

 

That's just bullshit though! Only one climber needs to pass Aguado and then Rojas has passed her (Aguado would for example go from 14 to 28 by moving from 1st to 2nd in lead, while Rojas would move from 16 to 24 - and ahead of her - by moving from 2nd to 3rd in lead).

 

Is it really that impossible to simply have a little Excel sheet to follow along?

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

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    Gym is by far the largest I’ve been in. Really impressive

Oh my, the suspense during Yip's lead attempt! That, and the way it ended, is going on my list of favourite 2020 sports moments (it would have been there also if 2020 actually had more than 2,5 months of sports :p ).

That was a fun one to watch. The moment after her climb was really touching too.
 

I have audio interviews with Yip and Contreras if that interests anyone

Again :lol:

 

'Current' standings (athletes in yellow finished their lead, those in white have a 1 there to avoid Excel multiplying by 0 and so having 0 as total score). Bosco: "So Galla can now not finish ahead of Waller anymore." 

 

But that is simply not true! If two out of the next three, with Duffy and Bailey definitely not impossible to imagine, go ahead of Waller on the lead wall, Galla passes Waller again. It's like commentator Bosco, who I'm generally a fan of, doesn't understand that the points are multiplied instead of added...

 

Also the "Galla is now out of the fight for the Olympic sport" is just entirely false. If Valencia and Bailey take 1st and 2nd or 2nd and 1st on the lead wall, Galla would be the one winning the competition and so the Olympic ticket. Come on..

Only Duffy and Bailey to go and, contrary to what Charlie Bosco is saying, there are still three (!) possible winners of the gold medal and Olympic ticket, that is awesome:hyper:

Just posting it here as if it's live because there's nothing going on anyway, but with only Duffy to go this is incredible :hyper:

 

Duffy wins the lead --> Duffy goes to the Olympics
Duffy beats Waller, but not Bailey (2nd) --> Galla goes to the Olympics
Duffy beats Galla, but not Waller (3rd) --> Waller goes to the Olympics
Duffy doesn't beat Galla (4th or worse) --> Waller and Galla are tied and I have no clue who out of these two goes to the Olympics

When watching it live, I thought it was rather obvious what wound happen...

 

How? Because with the last climber halfway up the wall there were still three very possible winners :p (unless you're listening to the commentator, who said that anything but a win for Duffy would mean Waller would qualify, which is not true)

No, mainly because Duffy apparently topped the wall in qualifying and Bailey was so slow. It looked like he was barely even trying. :p

      apparently this medical report saying XY  is fake made by a stupid journalist ,the tribunal is waiting him      Olympic boxer Imane Khelif takes legal action over male chromosomes claims   She is preparing a lawsuit in response to the latest reporting,” an IOC spokesperson said. “The IOC will not comment while legal action is ongoing, or on media reports about unverified documents whose origin cannot be confirmed.”

      20240930_MiCo2026 Comp Schedule Version 6 Final NO CODES.pdf   Here is the latest version of the schedule that now shows up on the official website. Contains a bit more information than the previous version. As for start times, the only difference I can see is that the ice dance rhythm dance starts 5 minutes earlier at 19:15 instead of 19:20.

      I think it's already slowly happening. These things happen on their own, not because someone decides to.

      [OFF TOPIC] Politics Thread

      By copravolley · Posted

      The think about you writing about is rarer but that doesn't mean that you can belittle, for example, Obama, who won twice in a row. What was he supposed to do at that time? Deliberately lose in 2012 so he could run in 2016? He couldn't have run more than twice. In Trump's case, it's more the downfall of the USA itself: first of all, the lack of credible and capable leaders at a younger age. After all, what happened in 2020 in elections was a parody: two old guys (one with dementia, the other clown with numerous court judgments). Then you wonder why Putin and the leader from China aren't afraid of the USA, since they have such incompetent people as opponents. It hurts me a lot because in the 90s I admired the USA and Clinton was a role model od modern leader in Europe and now? Looking at their elections and their leaders I just smile bitterly.
