an interesting breakdown of the comp http://thecircuitclimbing.wordpress.com/2014/05/07/baku-2014-the-circuit-review/

[Durbs]

Looking forward, my call for Gindlewald:

1) Jan - Takes the home advantage
2) Kililan - Not far behind
3) Dimitry

1) Shauna - Riding high off the dab
2) Julia - Home advantage
3) Anna - Pressure

[finbarrr]

grindelwald is in switzerland, jan and juliana are german

[a dense loner]

3) Anna pressure?
Interesting theory durbs, I don't think she'd know what pressure was unless Barrows sat on her

[Muenchener]

1) Jan - Takes the home advantage

2) Julia - Home advantage

Struggling to grasp what home advantage German climbers have over Austrian climbers in Switzerland.

Grindlewald preview from the circuit:

Semis 0930 uk time, Finals 1530

[Durbs]

Fine geography knowledge there... 

Pressure as in didn't podium in Chongqing, nearly missed gold in Baku. Think she'll be trying extra hard to stamp her authority back on the pack, but might miss and stub her toe.

Shauna has just finished her quals, currently 1st with 5t9 ahead of Akiyo on 5t13 but Melissa is 4t4 after 4 boulders

Other group the results aren't up to date, 3 tablets not working - have 12 need 10 so both spares plus 1 is down. I'll be at Cole Bros on Tuesday getting replacements. Pooch did P5. Will get them updated soon.

[Duma]

Looks like all usual suspects incl Shauna and mina through to semis for women. No Brit men through though, plus looks like Sean mcoll and jorg verhoven out.

[Duma]

Balls, seems like I posted too soon and the girls hadn't finished - mina just missed out in 21st

[Duma]

Petra and Rustam heroes to zeroes - neither near final places. Usual suspects for the women plus Rebekka Stotz, Shauna in first so looking good in the case of easy finals probs. Two Japanese men in final and looks like one more just off finals too - plus Akiyo - where did they come from? 1530 for finals.

[GraemeA]

Tsukuru and Rei are hardly surprise finalist though Durbs.

[Duma]

Yeah, prob shows my ignorance of the non euros more than anything else

[Nibile]

Kruder showed up late for isolation and won't be in the final...
Schoolboy error???!!!

[Duma]

Idiot. Shame, he was looking in very good shape.

[Duma]

Does that mean Shauna will climb on her own?

[GraemeA]

No, Rebekka who is first out climbs on her own

[Doylo]

Shauna won! Fuckin amazing!

[Nibile]

With just only one more available attempt to get the gold!!!

[psychomansam]

GET IN!!!!

[Moo]

 

[Durbs]

Epic. My predictions not too far off either, 2nd and 3rd reversed for both :D So pleased for Shauna

GRINDELGOLD!!

Also, super-bonus-points for the organisers - right back on track with overall quality of the event.

No streaming issues, the event flowed really smoothly - top job all round.

Watched the re-broadcast, seemed really good. Rei on M3 was brilliant.
