I'm a little behind on watching the season and am now finishing up the Wujiang boulder World Cup Still Munich, Vail, Villars, Chamonix and Briançon to go (not sure which of those are boulder as well, apart from Munich which is) Vail is the last Boulder of the season... stages in France and Switzerland are about Lead and Speed...

Thanks, so I only need to finish Munich (I saw the first two of eight final boulders in the train today) and Vail and then I can watch the world champs boulder event 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!

She is our specialist for the combined event, this is like a trainin (and a qualification for the semifinals) I guess well, last year she was the youth world champion in Boulder...so, she's supposed to deliver in this discipline more than the others sooner or later... however, I don't really understand our technical committee...we have a clear Combined leader like Schenk (by far the our biggest talent, already 4th at the YOG last year just behind established world cup climbers) and they didn't even try to make him climb in the world cup stages nor they've brought him here at the world champs... do they really belive that Ghisolfi, Piccolruaz or Rogora can make the Games?

phelps 6,852 Posted August 13, 2019 Author #26 Share Posted August 13, 2019 however, OK...it's the world championship, but once again (like last year) they're just killing the show with such kind of routes, especially for the girls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the first route. This second one is completely ridiculous though. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Gianlu33 3,572 Posted August 13, 2019 #28 Share Posted August 13, 2019 They decided to have very hard boulders... Meh, this killing the competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,852 Posted August 13, 2019 Author #29 Share Posted August 13, 2019 this second route is not "difficult"...it's "impossible"... curious to see if at least Janja could go beyond the first move...frankly, now I'm almost falling asleep... I hope the next 2 routes are at least "playable"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,852 Posted August 13, 2019 Author #30 Share Posted August 13, 2019 to me, they should forget about the yellow handle and try and stabilize their position on the first blue...then going "upwards"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
