Does this mean Mumbai might not happen?

[a dense loner]

Hope not. What a shit idea. Whoever thought of this in the ifsc should be made to pay out of their own pocket or be sacked.

[jwi]

OK. The season is starting. Prepare your bets....

Mine is as follows, assuming the people who register for Meiringen have funding to do enough comps to be competitive...


1) Akiyo Noguchi
2) Shauna Coxey
3) Megan Mascarenas*
Janja Garnbret should surely get into top three if she's doing the entire circuit, but I think not?
Anna Stöhr?
Fanny Gibert?
Monika Retchy?
One of the younger Japanese girls?

*If funding is in place

----
I assume Schubert just does the WC in Austria because it is in Austria, and not the entire tour?
1) Jongwon Chon
2) Alban Levier
3) Jan Hojer
Alexey Rubtsov?
Kokoro Fuji?
Sean McColl?

RS 100,000 is only about £1,000. Doesn't sound enough to build/import a compwall+pads+holds+etc even in India.

In the link it looks like it's RS 1,000,000 even if the commas are arranged weirdly.

[highrepute]

ah right, mis-read it.

[Schnell]

Either way it doesn't look like good news for the comp. They've  raised about £500 out of the £10,000 required.

The main fundraising page is this one: http://climbingworldcup.ketto.org/ which has 19 campaigns and a grand total of Rs.16,90,946 raised (£17,800). But an fb post by Girivihar (who I think are the organiser) said they need Rs.40,00,000 by 16th April.

So, on one hand they've raised a shedload more than £500. On the other, it seems that they may be less than half-way to their target with 3 days left.

[highrepute]

well, I hope they get enough. It's a gamble that could pay off.

Notice Pooch isn't attending Austria? Assume she is competing this year, but maybe not enough comps to win, same as Megan...

[Duma]

Qualification has started.
Dave Barrans, Ty Landman, Nathan Phillips and Billy Ridal for the brit mens.
Shauna Coxsey, Leah Crane, Micheala Tracey and Tara Hayes for the women.

[Duma]

Looks like Jan didn't get the bonus on the first prob

[Duma]

This live anywhere, can't find a link.

[a dense loner]

They don't show qualifiers do they? Or am I going mad?

[Duma]

Go Rustam! I will fucking love it if he's on fire this year

[Duma]

Dunno dense, can always hope. If Liam managed to periscope the British Champs surely someone could do similar in Switzerland?

[bigironhorse]

They didn't show the quals last year, sometimes put a couple of videos I think though.

Go Rustam! I will fucking love it if he's on fire this year

Same here! I first started watching comps when Rustam was in his prime so its good to see him going well again.

[Duma]

Looks like he faded though :-(
Edit, I spoke too soon! Yes!

[Coops_13]

How many qualification rounds are there? As I don't see any of the GB men in the results so far?

[Duma]

You got the app? There's one qualification round, five problems, split into two groups. Top ten of each group go through to semis. Its order of seeding, so our boys come out later. Barrans is first, should start soon, Billy Ridal is one of the last to climb.

I haven't, is it just an IFSC one?

[Duma]

Barrans is climbing and is the first to top problem one in his half of the draw!

[Duma]

Dmitrii is out. Wasn't he retiring last year?

[Coops_13]

3t9 5b9 enough to get Barrans through? 6th place at the moment!
