Olympian1010 7,417 Posted February 24, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2020 This will be my first event as accredited press! I’ll have articles up on Totallympics Media, and maybe an interview or two for the podcast. bmo, Sindo, JoshMartini007 and 4 others 6 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,417 Posted February 28, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Dependent upon how many climbers make the final round (don’t know if it’s 6 or 8 at this competition), we know the woman’s finalists for tomorrow (which is the first of two days in which I’ll be in attendance): If 6: Bair Contreras Aguado Chi Hunt Yip If 8: those 6 above Rojas Frangos If only 6 make it, it would be a huge shame for Rojas because she has been quite strong in the Pan American region. Plus, she placed 5th in women’s pre-qualification. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,417 Posted February 28, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Ah, IFSC have confirmed 8 qualify for the final, Rojas and Frangos are in fact still in the mix for the quota. “Sport has the power to change the world.

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted February 28, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Every time IFSC pops up, I think it's something about the school in which I work (IFSC, Instituto Federal de Santa Catarina). Is this the first edition of the IFSC Pan Ams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the first edition of the IFSC Pan Ams? IFSC Pan American Combined Championships? Yes. IFSC Pan American Championships? No, those have been around for a while. In fact, they will be held later this year, and award quotas for next years World Games (which I will also hopefully be at). “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,417 Posted February 29, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 29, 2020 We now know the men’s finalists too: Bailey Galla Duffy Granja Valencia Waller Santos Buhl Grosso This is essentially US national selection with a little added excitement. The Ecuadorians are the strongest speed climbers, so a decent Boulder or Lead could give them a fighting chance. Mexico and Brazil are generally weak, but they’ve managed to create some climber apparently. Mexico could make some inroads in Speed, but he’ll to seriously improve upon his Lead. Brazil is little more than a wall decoration I’m afraid (he actually had a weirdly good Lead performance in Qualification). mrv86 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,417 Posted February 29, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Alrighty, I’m en route to the venue. I should get there a bit before the scheduled start of Speed. Hopefully, I’ll be able to bring y’all good coverage. If I’m able to, I be “live tweeting” from my personal Twitter or Totallympics Media Twitter. phelps, Wumo and JoshMartini007 3 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
