Last Lead WC of the year!   that it's the last, but  that it's almost here!  But also looking forward to next week's final Speed comp and then the WCH soon after.

 

(This is my first year following the sport since the beginning...has been fun!  Almost time for ice climbing!)

[clemsonbeav 574]

I also just saw this event...

Invite only 'Grand Finale' in Japan in October for Boulder and Lead.  Two men and two women each from Japan, France, Slovenia, Austria, USA, and Great Britain.  Interesting!  Perhaps another comp to compensate for speed at the WG?

Slovenian women showing out at Koper! 4 out of 8 of the women's finalists from !  Janja in the top spot, of course. 

 

Adam Ondra  is here and made the finals in 8th position.  And a relative newcomer, Putra Tri Ramadani  is in the finals.  And no surprise that  has three men, including Soratu Anraku in top spot.

 

Finals tomorrow!

[clemsonbeav 574]

And just like that, our Lead World Cup season finishes, and  get the Gold with Janja climbing much higher than the others (47+ vs. 38+ and below).

(Alberto has yet to win a Gold Medal at World Cup comps, yet his consistency has him atop the World Cup final rankings.  Congrats!)  (Oh, and he does have the Gold from Tokyo 2020.)   

 

(And despite only competing twice in Lead, Janja ends up 7th in the Lead World Cup Rankings.  That's what happens when you're a beast.)   

 

Congrats to all the athletes!

Though Athletics and Table Tennis are both live, I'm choosing Sport Climbing right now...Sam Watson and Kiromal Katibin both knocked out in R16!   (Kiromal had a big slip, and Sam had a smaller one.)

[clemsonbeav 574]

And Zach Hammer slips in the 1/4s.  A cruel sport Speed Climbing is...  Per the commentators Kiromal still should win the overall Speed WC title.

[clemsonbeav 574]

And despite going out in the semis, Emma Hunt  will win the overall Speed title this year.
