naaa...speed specialists are a world on their own...

no one of them is really competitive in Boulder and/or Lead (meanwhile those 2 disciplines have a lot of participants who can win in both of them)...

that's why the Olympic Combined event technically doesn't make any sense...:facepalm::wall:

I mostly meant it'd be fun to see someone named Boldyrev do the boulder event :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

only 5th place for Ghisolfi tonight...:cry:

well deserved win for Megos...

technically, overall not the best competition of the season, since nobody did reach the top...

 

now the women's final is underway...with 4 out of 8 starters coming from Slovenia...:yikes:

Italy, and in particular the Sport Climbing "Mecca" Arco di Trento is the location for the 10th stage of this year's World Cup...

 

Lead and Speed are the disciplines scheduled to be contested in this weekend...

 

after yesterday's qualifications and this morning's semifinals, today in the late afternoon and tonight the big finals will be on stage...

 

here you can watch the speed finals @ 6 p.m. CET

 

meanwhile here you can follow the lead finals, starting with the women @ 7.45 p.m. CET

in the Speed discipline, :FRA Anouck Joubert has been the fastest in the women's qualifying climb ahead of :RUS Iuliia Kaplina...

among the top 16 there are 5 girls from Poland, 4 from Russia, 3 from France and 1 each from Italy, USA, Ecuador and Austria

 

in the men's Speed qualifications, :RUS Dmitrii Timofeev just edged out :IRI Reza Alipoushenazandifar...

meanwhile in the top 16 we have 6 Russians, 3 Italians, 2 Ukranians and 1 man each from USA, France, Czech Republic, Poland and of course Iran...

 

unfortunately there were no Indonesians at the start (both the men and women's classes), since they are focusing mainly on their Home Asian Games...

 

the Lead finalists, instead, are:

 

women's Lead

:SLO Jania Garnbret

:AUT Jessica Pilz

:AUT Christine Schranz

:USA Claire Buhrfeind

:BEL Anak Verhoeven

:FRA Manon Hily

:UKR Ievgeniia Kazbekova

:FRA Helene Janicot

 

of course here a new chpter of the great challenge between Garnbret and Pilz is expected...any different outcome for Gold and Silver would be a huge surprise (actually, good half of the finalists are already surprisingly there)...

 

men's Lead

:SUI Sascha Lehmann

:CZE Adam Ondra

:AUT Jakob Schubert

:SLO Domen Skofic

:JPN Shuta Tanaka

:ITA Stefano Ghisolfi

:ESP Alberto Ginès Lopez

:KOR Min Hyun Bin

 

here we have definitely more guys aiming for the final win, from local hero Stefano Ghisolfi to "podium subscribers" like Schubert and Skofic...but my absolute favourite is Adam Ondra, finally back to world cup action after his great "natural" climbs outside the competitions...

surprisingly out in the earlier stages the Frenchman Romain Desgranges and the German Alexander Megos, multiple time medallists (and even winners) in the previous world cup rounds...

lead finals were contested in difficult conditions, after heavy rain...so, technically it wasn't a great competition, with almost all the climbers falling at the only really complicated passage...

however, we still have the best specialists at the top of the rankings...so, we can't say that the event was completely turned around by the unfavourable weather...

pity for Ondra, who just missed out on the podium by a really small margin at his 1st world cup event of the season...

 

now it's time for the World Cup to take a short break because of the Youth World Championships in Moscow in the next weeks, it will be back just after mid-August with the Munich stage (Boulder only), which will be the last one before the Senior Worlds (in Innsbruck in the first half of September)...
