IFSC 2014 - Predictions & Results
April 23, 2014, 01:56:48 pm
Sooo, this weekend the drama kicks off again :D

(Rather selfishly of them, the first round clashes with my wedding. Humph)

Anyone care to place their early bets for Men's and Women's top 3?
Will Anna (  :wub: ) dominate?
Think I read somewhere Ondra's competing this year....

My predictions (if anyone cares):
Men
1: Adam Ondra (If he's competing)
2: Jan Hojer
3: Kilian - I think his motivation will have peaked and lost interest slightly.

Women:
1: Anna Stohr
2: Shauna
3: Akiyo Noguchi / Pooch

Hojer is great when the poblems suit his style, but seems to struggle on techy stuff.

1) Anna - brilliant last year, though as well as great performances I think she also had some good luck. She was definitely the best, but I think it might be a bit closer this year.
2) Shauna / Akiyo - come on Shauna!
4) Pooch / Jule - Pooch is a beast, but inconsistent. Jule could scrape in if she gets a good run.

These four seem quite far ahead of the pack - I'd be surprised if there was anyone new in the top four, but who knows...

Harder to call in the men. Ondra isn't competing in China - http://www.ifsc-climbing.org/index.php/world-competition/calendar#!type=starters&comp=1518

1) Dmitrii - Hard to beat!
2) Rustam / Killian - Both capable of winning, but haven't been as good as Dmitrii recently
4) Sean / Jakob

I think you've got the women pretty much spot on, I think and hope Shauna will get consistently closer to Anna's results.

I think this year can be Akiyo Noguchi's year, she was the only one to consistently threaten Anna Stöhr. Juliane Wurm's form seems to be on the rise.

1. Akiyo Noguchi
2. Anna Stöhr.
3. Shauna Coxsey
Outsider: Juliane Wurm


For the men, I don't know exactly how Jakob Schubert's injury is panning out. To me he was the best climber in the world cup circuit  last year and I hope he has able to train hard, but he is not on the startlist for Chongqing...

1. Rustam Gelmanov. This will be his year
2. Jan Hojer
3. Guillaume Glairon-Mondet

Slightly  :offtopic:  but am I right in thinking Chongqing is 7 hours ahead of us and therefore Finals will be 10am ish?

Think so. This is handy for the world cups...

This post has the potential to get you in so much trouble, should your girlfriend read it.

looks like techinical dificulties have been encountered and it's only going to be streamed from IFSC homepage. I also saw this in a report from onbouldering.com :

"Note: The organization in Chongqing is chaotic to say the least." from their report @ http://onbouldering.com/2014-chongqing-bouldering-world-cup-qualifiers/

Nice couple of vids showing Shauna and Kilian climbing in the quali's too.

To be fair to chongqing I've not actually seen any decent footage streamed of a climbing comp ever, yet still I watch them

Silver again for shauna, more bonuses I think, but one more attempt for her tops than jule.

No interest? Thought maybe with the crowdfunding stuff more folk might have been following. No one I spoke to at the wall this afternoon even knew it was on either.

I think there will be more interest in the ones that are on in the evening. I was out climbing rather than watching people climb on my computer!

I was really interested but I completely miscalculated the start time. It'd be nice if the IFSC could give a 'euro' start time. maybe update some of the pages. Couldn't find the qualifiying results or semi-results.

fair enough - the weather in Bristol was not conducive to getting out!

tbh I was only alerted by the BMC on FB

Tried to watch a bit in work but the stream was poor.

R.e. Finding results; it is always weirdly in the calendar section as opposed to the results section until the event is complete (afaik). That's how I found the qualifiers and semi results before the final started this morning.

Good comp, shame about the stream. The match between jule and shauna was great, could have gone either way. dmitrii was super impressive, seemed a level above everyone else, just unlucky on the jumpy problem.
