Not sure how well it works to have men and women climb the same boulder, but the idea of having the pair collaborate to solve the problem is really neat.

phelps 2,893 Posted May 26, 2021 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2021 OMG! just another sport destroyed by this fuckin' obsession for mixed team farce events, as if the "combined thing" to find a place at the Olympics wasn't enough...

Not sure how well it works to have men and women climb the same boulder, but the idea of having the pair collaborate to solve the problem is really neat. They don’t climb the same Boulder. There are 3 sections of two Boulders each. Each time around a team nominates one man to climb a Boulder and one women to climb the other Boulder. I do believe their allowed to give each other beta and other support though. The other major difference is that they only see the Boulder when they go to climb it, not during the observation period before. They also have 5 minutes, instead of 4 minutes, to top the Boulder. The climbing press I follow seemed to like the idea. It was getting good reviews from the climbing journalists there. I haven’t seen much about the athletes opinion though. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
