I just saw speed, and I understand how the rankings were made. But will we have a 'full' boulder competition now with 6 athletes doing 4 boulders, so potentially 24x4 minutes and then a 6xlead competition? Yes, lead and boulder competitions will be the same as a normal lead and boulder competitions. only in speed they make it a bit shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quasit 849 Posted September 16, 2018 #163 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I know Desgranges failed early but whatever happened to Sean McColl? Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he isn't anymore the all-rounder he once was... nowadays the speed event has so many pure specialists that's very difficult for guys good but not "super-good" to make the highest part of the ranking...and if you're not one of the top 5/10 athletes in both lead and boulder, then it gets really complcated to excel in this new combined format (which is still too unbalanced towards those who can win in the 2 most classic disciplines)...
