Jens on 8a.nu is talking his normal bollocks
Thanks for the info Graeme, appreciated. Thought it was good bar the streaming issues, would have been nice to see a top on M4 and/or W4 too.Was interesting to see how the young guns were crushing in the semis / qualifying, but faded by the finals - do you think the likes of Shauna and Melissa do specific work to deal with the format of the WCs (qualifying one afternoon then a hard morning and evening session the next day), or is it just the adrenaline etc is more draining the first couple of times you make the finals?
Alban Levier was talking in a video itw about listening to "painfully loud" music in isolation so he wouldn't hear the crowd and guess what climbers before him were doing.
Like there would have to be a results screen staring them in the face in isolation.

I think more than anything the holds being consistently used for 20 odd minutes beforehand plays a big part in this, I mean even if they are getting brushed they're still going to heat up and world cup holds don't tend to be very incut...
.Eg 3 In the CWIF you know that you are either getting the slab in the semi or in the final (likewise with the vert return on the other side). So if you get the slab in the semi and are good at them then you might qualify highly but do badly in the final because your forte is missing. This type of thing happens at most World Cups
Have you been drinking?
Yeh, whilst I'm very appreciative of the live streams it'd be nice to get:- Split screens.- A presenter who actually knows something about climbing and can commentate.I never saw the commentator but it sounded like the annoying epictv presenter.*EDIT* toned down attack on epic tv presenter.
