Yeah, she looks in a class of her own atm. Really psyched for Michaela, that's 8th then 7th, maybe next round she'll make the finals?

I thought it was excellent, the setting was good. Shauna needs a bit of competiton, but that's not her fault. The men's final was top stuff.

Commentator wants shooting, but which ones don't?

No upside-down results. ;)

Do I get a bottle of wine from GAs cellar now?

Yup, she walked it. Amazing effort.

Shauna cruised everything except the one everyone else cruised.  go figure.

I thought the comp as a whole was amazing.  It was awesome to see the climbing as a whole.  Good variety, both overall and within the problems.  After watching qualies, semis, and finals, it would appear the routesetters try not to overload any one hold type or pull/push motion.  the variety was amazing.

I was wondering if anyone was going to comment on this; care to speculate further? I guess everyone has their respective strengths and weaknesses?

Miho's climbing style was amazing to watch.

Hmm, it was basically a slab wasn't it? Odd as I don't recall her generally struggling with them. Just seemed like the other girls trusted their feet more.

She pissed the slab problem the week before where everyone had struggled a bit.

Maybe she knew she had the comp in the bag? Didn't she walk away before her time was out?

Is she a bit shorter? The French pair in particular seemed to be pressing into the overhang more. I reckon being a top ahead probably takes the "I must flash this!" pressure off too, so perhaps she was content to just give it a few goes?

If you look back at the footage her foot/heel is at a funky ankle compared to the others (and it was an Anasazi heel!).

Ah OK, I must have missed her topping the last one, I was watching on a phone and relying on 3G, so it wasn't ideal.

Yeah that problem showed different styles eh. The Francais just walked across it. Shauna's clearly spent too much time in grotty Welsh pits getting waaaay fucking strong.

Mens was good too, good variety of problems and the last one was exciting.

I keep click around furiously on the IFSC website, but can't see the overall final results from Kazo, can anyone point me in the direction?

Thanks

Megan Mascarenas didn't compete then? Is she injured, or just skipped it?
