Points System

In sport climbing, breaking, and BMX freestyle there’ll be a maximum of 50 points up for grabs (unsure on the amount of points per rank though) in both Shanghai and Budapest, the athletes with the most amount of points qualify for Paris. In skateboarding, it’s a little bit different. They’re using a three-thirds system where 1/3 of each athletes Olympic Qualifier Series Ranking will count, along with 1/3 points in Shanghai, and 1/3 points in Budapest.

 

Right now, Fay Ebert is on 4076 points in women’s park, while in men’s street Cordano Russell is on 20,727 points, Ryan Decenzo is on 18,110 points, Matt Berger is on 7,725 points, and Micky Papa is on 7538 points.

Josh, who do you think will qualify. Can we qualify more than one woman in breaking?

I don’t know why you’re asking me, I’m not an expert on that “sport” 

 

I’ll say Ryan Decenzo and Cordano Russell in men’s street, Fay Ebert in women’s park and that’s it. My predictions may be a tad pessimistic but low expectations = no disappointment.

Competition has started. 
 

Fay Ebert placed 2nd in the 1st heat of women’s park prelims with 55.17 points. Top 16 advance to the semifinals (still 20 athletes to go)

After struggling on his 1st boulder, recording 0.0 points, Sean McColl rebounds on his 2nd boulder (pink course) getting the top and scoring 24.8 points.

Alannah Yip gets the flash (for those of you who don’t follow sport climbing, it’s a first attempt top) on her 2nd boulder!
 

Currently on 30.0 points, but she still has 2 more boulders to go. 

[Josh 10,521]

70.26 for Micky Papa on his 2nd run in men’s street prelims! Good enough for 7th so far. Top 16 advance to the semifinals, with 20 athletes still to go (2nd runs of heat 2 still haven’t finished also)

82.63 for Matt Berger 

 

Currently 2nd overall in men’s street prelims, with 2 more heats to go. 
 

Micky Papa is currently in 10th, I’d say it’s quite unlikely for him to be making the 16-person semifinals now. 

[Josh 10,521]

Matt Berger and Ryan Decenzo qualify for the men’s street semifinals in 12th and 13th respectively. 
 

Cordano Russell finished in 23rd, while Micky Papa finished in 29th.
