phelps 6,781 Posted August 12, 2019 Author #11 Share Posted August 12, 2019 in today's men's boulder quali, only Ondra and Chon saved the honor of the rest of the world in front of the mighty Japanese armada, capable of placing all of their 7 contenders in the top 12 of the ranking (5 in the top 7)... for Italy, good result for Piccolruaz (also in preview of the Olympic Combined event), but now he really needs to change to another gear to improve from his quali position...will he be capable of that?

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted August 13, 2019 #12 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I hate that the Boulder Semifinals and Finals are on the same day. It makes the event impossible to cover as a journalist. Plus, the Tokyo time zone doesn’t help. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

heywoodu 13,540 Posted August 13, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Crap, boulder finals today already. 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) 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is our specialist for the combined event, this is like a trainin (and a qualification for the semifinals) I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
