Olympian1010 7,417 Posted August 14, 2019 #72 Share Posted August 14, 2019 @JoshMartini007 @intoronto Sean McColl is looking like he’s on great form to qualify for the next Olympics here. I don’t think his speed times are terrible... “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Hopefully he’s found that type of form again. Edited August 14, 2019 by Olympian1010 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

phelps 6,527 Posted August 14, 2019 Author #76 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I don't think that anybody can beat Tomoa Narasaki this year (and also Adam Ondra in perspective, if he can heal the wrist injury bothering him for quite some time now and overcome this tournament's mental struggle)...

OlympicsFan 776 Posted August 14, 2019 #77 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Quite interesting that the japanese head coach is from Germany ...

Olympian1010 7,417 Posted August 15, 2019 #79 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Very physical walls in the semifinals. I think the route setters did a great job. Both routes are fun to watch. We may not see any tops, but the routes should definitely differentiate the good and the bad. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,417 Posted August 15, 2019 #80 Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Miho Nonaka decided not to compete in the lead semifinals in order to rest for the combined. She is struggling with minor shoulder injuries though, so I don’t blame her. Edited August 15, 2019 by Olympian1010 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
