A really good watch, enjoyed it.  Problems looked hard, though maybe not for Janja! Good commentary from Liam too.

Janja makes a class field look very ordinary on those problems... be very interesting to see how she does in the senior world cups next year.

Well seeing as she won the first two senior world cup competitions this year ... I think it is safe to assume that she'll do OK. From the interviews it doesn't sound like she'll do the bouldering world cup. (As the always humble Domen Skofic put it: “she's crazy strong! sometimes she does moves even I cannot do!" [<-quoted from memory ... sorry])

I particularly liked the self-commentating on beard part of the competition; commentary for these kind of events must be really hard, I thought he was notably better than others I've listened to in the past. Hopefully he may get the chance to do so on IFSC events and potentially BMC events too?

Quite. It was interesting to see Shauna's social media posts after the event which suggests she may agree!

What a shame. The lead comps just aren't as interesting to watch. But she has competed in youth bouldering world cups, so fingers crossed she gives it a go...

I saw the the Briançon lead comp live. Really amazing.

Have seen most of the others of Youtube, it grew on me. If you see it with someone else and really care about the outcome its excellent!

Really annoyed! Girlfriends away for the night so i thought i'd catch up on Legends but made the mistake of already watching redtube a couple of times, no point now  >:(
