Sport Climbing IFSC World Championships 2019

[MHSN 3,180]

Just now, phelps said:

frankly, with this 1-run format is more a lottery than a fair competition...

 

basically, every race is decided by mistakes and not by top performances...

 

and it's not good for heart if you are watching

 

. speed will be in 2024 Olympic program. I really hope they change the format by then. a best of 3 run won't take too much time.

Ludovico Fossali!!!!! it must really be his day...already twice winning by his opponent's false start...

 

this format sucks! we must admit that...they have to change it to the best-of-3...

 

by the way, this is the first ever final for Italy in the speed discipline...

[phelps 6,805]

bronze for France among the women...thanks to Song's mistake...definitely not the day of the Chinese sensation, dominator of this year's world cup...

[phelps 6,805]

Russia (thanks to the 16th and last seeded climber after qualification, Stanislav Kokorin) edges out Ukraine for bronze in the men's division...

 

now it's time for the real deal...

[phelps 6,805]

Aleksandra Miroslaw back to back world champion!

 

she's been really good throughout the entire day...and now in the final she could stay calm after the impressive start of the Chinese girl (Niu Di) and make her class count...
