Sport Climbing at the Summer Olympic Games 2020

To be honest, I had a problem with this sport, but TV realisation with a good commentator is enjoyable. For me in program we should have all 3 individuals events and additional combined.

But they do need to add combined graphics especially in the lead phase. Every single move can change the order and with that all being calculated automatically, it can be updated within 1-2 seconds of the hold being reached, but they're not showing anything at all. Now you have to keep track yourself or just stare at the live score on a different screen, which is just not useful.

lol Garnbret is guaranteed to win the bouldering section with a boulder left to go. She has two tops, nobody else has any.

Aleksandra Miroslaw set the WR in speed climbing but predictably finished last in lead & bouldering and still finished 4th overall. This unfair format won't be missed for sure. Let's hope Miroslaw stays in form to contend in speed climbing alone in Paris.

As usual, the DJ tried to find appropriate records for each athlete. For , it was of course Ça plane pour moi, by Plastic Bertrand. Of .

Garnbret  is such a beast! She ate those boulder problems for breakfast and then enjoyed that lead route for dessert. I’m also super happy for Nonaka  and Noguchi . It was nice to see the Japanese climbers find some success at their home Olympics. 
 

The route setters did a great job setting intriguing boulders, but I think they could have ratcheted down the difficultly a notch. The green hold section of the lead route also proved to be quite a challenge. I think they could have made that top volume section (after the green holds) just a tad easier though, since it would have been nice to see someone top out during the final.

It is the only sport of Olympic agenda that I would support to remain in program

Indonesia will likely win the gold in Paris... I speed

Speed is very unpredictable at the top. Plus, they aren’t the only nation working on new beta. I’d say they have a decent chance, but it’s nowhere near certain.
