Sport Climbing has started and I’ll happily admit that I have no idea what is going on when it comes to bouldering.

 

With speed it’s get to the top as quick as you can and lead it’s just get to the top. But bouldering… not a clue. 
 

Hopefully Toby performs to the level of his World Cup performances. 

With bouldering there are sections with a number of points (5, 10 and 25). You have 5 minutes on each route.

 

You get the number of points based on the highest section you reached.

 

However, the number of attempts you take to get there impacts it. You lose 0.1 for each attempt.

 

So getting to the 25 section in one go gets you 25 points. But if you get there on go 3, you get 24.8.

 

Solid performances from Toby especially and Hamish this morning. All on the lead now.

By the look of it, Toby Roberts is equally accomplished on Lead as on Boulder (if not more so), which bodes well for his qualification chances. He looked really good today.

Hamish is a really strong lead climber too so he might be able to get into the final

Starting to feel like it’s a bit of an issue, Franklin very hard done by there.

She did do her roll quite late; the commentators I have called that live.

Aussie Guy managed to miss three gates, might as well have taken the bus.
