The bigger question is why the semifinals and finals take place on the same day
Eight boulders and two lead climbs is a significant task for athletes.
These Games had great venues, smooth organization, and great attendance. However, the promotion and scheduling/tournament formats leave a lot to be desired. We had redundant rounds, too few matches in some team sports, weird draws in others, etc.
The OCA doesn’t have a lot of pressure to change though, so not sure if those issues will be resolved anytime soon.
