Whoop! Shauna wins the season by totally dominating in Mumbai 

[teapot]

Impressive work by Shauna. Particularly respect how focused she was in the final, given she had already bagged the title. The 4 minute limit was pushed to the absolute max on the last problem by both Chon and Shauna.

[alx]

That last try on the last problem by the last competitors, at the same time.  You could not make that up! Cracking comp

[Fiend]

Fucking hell, that finish!!

Good contest, problems weren't as varied as usual but there were some great moments.

[SA Chris]

Great for Shauna, and good finishes for Leah and Michaela too.

All looked like a set up to promote the new 4 min rule to me

[Fiend]

Plenty of times where that sucked as usual TBH, despite Charlie Boscoe being forced to sing it's praises at one point when I was thinking the exact opposite. As for the end, again it was detrimental as Shauna's top was a matter of "will they judge it" rather than "can she do it". But it's still good despite that so hey ho....

No takers for my wager?

Go on then, I'll take that action. A CAC shirt, bright pink - medium Let's hope Janja learns to read boulders and the setters set some hard moves.

Anyone going to nail some predictions to the mast?

Men: Chon
Women: Coxsey

1 down, 1 to go

[Fiend]

Are we allowed to discuss Lead in here??

M was pretty good at the finish. F route looked really cool and the finish was ace (Mina's face getting into that section and Janja's teeter!).

[jwi]

I have a very soft spot for Romain Desgranges, no one has done more to deserve a victory. He must be close to half of the combined age of the podium in Villars.

Very exciting to watch Jan Hojer trying to beat the pump clock as well!

You're not forgotten!! PM me; you shall have your reward

Same here - delighted to see someone over 6ft and 80kg in amongst the little people. Although by the look of him, he might be under 80kg now...

[gme]

Do non of the brits do the world cups in lead climbing? Not a single one on the start list.

[BID]

Janja wadding about in Chamonix. Love the fact that the only song she ever climbs to now is EMF - You're unbelievable.

[finbarrr]

Oops, who left that jug at the bottom of the headwall in the men's final?

[alx]

Too many tops!

Marcelo Bombardi climbed well in both semi's and finals, (old but) fresh face to the finals scene.

[BID]

The Japanese fella was awesome holding the cut loose, that was the highlight for me of the men's final.

I will pay your travel costs to Briancon Gav if you want to go 

[GraemeA]

World Games takes place today, men's final finished, women's starts at 6pm (I think). Not sure where replays are - it's on the Olympic Channel.

The commentator sounds like Johnny from Horizon

[Danny]

Just watched the Briancon replay. Props to Sean McColl for transforming himself into Gary Oldman from the 5th Element.

Fourteen years of progression: Desgrange's  placement over the last one hundred comps
