Fantastic result and a brilliant nail-biter of a final. Just how good sports events should be.

sat and watched the replay last night and it was awesome, girl did good!  Not before time, long over due and now shes done it I think, and hope, she'll carry on doing it this year!

Loved watching the japanese guys trying to get two fingers on the last hold, been in that position at my local wall.  haha.  very good, great viewing and good tellybox.

11.45am still no visible mention on the other channel. Unless I've missed an obscured-by-other-drivvle postings-post by someone who cares.

Ps just noticed a tweet if you scroll down

Sat and watched both the semis and the final live and really loved it, so chuffed for Shauna.

There were 2 threads on the other channel about it yesterday and it is now on the front page. Still, I'm sure there are more followers of it on here.

Rob Adie, BMC competitions offer said: “It’s fantastic news. Shauna has been on the brink of winning a round for some time, and now that she’s won one, I feel she could dominate the circuit this year and take the overall title. Who knows, maybe she can do the double and be overall World Cup Champion and World Champion in the same year!

No pressure then! This lad's obviously never heard the football cliches, "one step at a time", "not thinking about anything but the next round" and "don't fucking jinx it you prick!!!".

It's slightly odd, that my (all male, age 18-25) staff are absolutely obsessed with her! To the point that they are all on the look out for the "next Shauna" and seem to concentrate on coaching the girls, more than the boys.

I'm not so interested in the comp scene. I enjoy watching, if I have time, but don't go out of my way to. But I realised, the only aspect of that scene that I even partially follow, is the Women's Bouldering!
I couldn't even think who our top Males might be!
I had to scroll (quite away down) through the results to jog my memory of Barrens name.

Can we start a news thread, naming the teams, each season?

The forum has started to become more news/interview oriented and Simon is becoming more journalistic. I'd like to see a (slightly) more magazine section within the structure, that might allow reporting or even the submission of articles?

Mainly because I've stopped using the other channel completely, but the time-line forum structure (great in so many ways), makes it easy to miss "news" posts.

Extremely likeable and attractive northern lass winning gold medals for team GB in the bouldering world cup. And you find it odd that male climbing wall staff around her age are obsessed? I'll take that as sarcasm.

Would be good to see some report/article style write-ups on here I reckon. We have the blog pile, but I can't be bothered. Perhaps every now and then an exceptionally good blog post could be ported over onto the home page (with permission perhaps). That might take the pressure off a bit, rather than articles/reports always having to be dedicated.
