First qualifiers today

Men - Can't see any GBRs in the top 28

Women - Shauna, Alex, Diane and Mina all looking good. Women's qualifiers possibly a little too easy?

[r-man]

Struggling to find the link. Where's the live feed, please?

[mr__j5]

Just go to http://www.ifsc-climbing.org/ these days.

If an event is currently live, then it should be showing on the front page.
Although, from reading their facebook feed it looks like some Chrome users where struggling with this.

Replays should also appear here http://www.youtube.com/user/ifscchannel after not too long.

So looking at the time conversion... The semis are on tomorrow at 1:15am for us? Then the finals at 8:50am?

http://www.ifsc-climbing.org/index.php/world-competition/calendar then click on event for the qualification results (which, confusingly, don't appear if you just go to the results page).

Would seem that all brit girls got through, though if I read the results right 20 go through and there were only 22 competitors in the qualifiers. All the usual suspects seem to have flashed everything.

[Durbs]

For score tracking - there's an IFSC app (iPhone and Android) - but it's just a scoreboard, no stream.

[r-man]

Cheers all.

Looks right, but I think I'll skip the half hour observation period and tune in at 9.20am when the bouldering starts!

[Duma]

Anyone watching?
Looks like Shauna and Mina should go through to semis, mens Q at 1400 BST

[Durbs]

Watching the scoreboard via the app which isn't quiet as exciting...

Do people thing I'll be ok to record from YouTube tomorrow?
Got a wedding so will miss the live stream, but don't want to wait a week for the non-live youtube version to appear (or was that related to China and it's weird rules?)

[Duma]

dunno. Leah has just topped prob 1. looks like Diane missed out on semis

How do you record from youtube?

[Durbs]

I use Internet Download Manager - lets you "Download this video" from YouTube, just not sure if a) it'll work on a live stream on YouTube and b) whether the stream will be smooth enough to actually bother.

As it's being streamed on YT, do you think it'll be available straight after to watch "normally"?

[r-man]

just not sure if a) it'll work on a live stream on YouTube and

Don't think so. Have tried in the past. I think capturing live streams is fairly complicated, though I'm sure it's possible.

No. They took about a week to upload the last one. Annoying, when you want to watch things before finding out the results.

How do you record from youtube?

the easiest way i found was to simply type 'ss' before youtube in the address - takes you to a download page (i.e. www.ssyoutube...)

insanely simple way of doing it (although i doubt it works with live streams...)

[Durbs]

Exactly - I'm going to be monstrously hungover on Sunday so seems a perfect time to watch it, but it's tricky avoiding finding out the results for anything more than a couple of days (Facebook & Twitter spoilt the last one...)

Not sure why it took so long to upload last time - as far as I could tell (I watched half live, half on YouTube), there was no editing, just a straight upload.

Meh, I'll hit "download this video" and see what happens. Suspect it will fail as IDM uses multi-part downloading to speed things up, which is obviously impossible on a live stream.

Good knowledge - never knew that

[Duma]

Balls, one attempt too many.

[abarro81]

Replay up now for those who were after it, they're obviously getting sorted to get everything online really quick

[rich d]

7b+ for the hardest problem...hmmm not sure where they got the grades from. Good quality on the YouTube

[r-man]

Yeah, that was good - exciting climbing and very few streaming issues.

Anyone else a bit unconvinced by the run and jump problems that pop up in these things every so often? They're vaguely entertaining, but only in the same way that I imagine it would be amusing to watch a professional hurdler attempt to climb a boulder problem before being allowed onto the track.

[Durbs]

 

That was highly entertaining - coming down to the last problem for the women, and the same for silver/bronze for the men.

Didn't like Women's #1 - It seemed to be either you did or you didn't, making the bonus hold pretty redundant. Maybe a mini-crimp out to the side to offer a harder alternative method?

Semi-gutted for Shauna, though Silver is still pretty bad-ass.

Russians had a shocker.

Top marks for speedy upload as well, Sunday morning viewing was much appreciated.

It came down to the last problem for the men as well, if Kili hadn't done it and GuiGui had then we would have heard the Marseillaise

Not really a shocker for Dima and Rustam, both in the final isn't that bad.

Speedy upload especially good when you consider that Mike, Dan and Colin had to de-rig after the comp (2.5 hours) and then were on the road at 0830 the next morning. They work hard those boys

Oooo - we're conversing on seperate channels about the same event.
