Is the calendar of boulder world cup rounds available anywhere yet? Not on the IFSC's comically inept website.

Thanks.

I tried the IFSC claendar page a couple of hours ago but it came up blank, as pages on that website often do.

Strange as often people tell me that suchandsuchapage is not there but when I look it is always there, including just now.

The most annoying things about the IFSC website is how the live results are in the calendar section not results section and how hard it is to find the back-up stream (when there is one!).

Depends what you mean by "not there". Generally in my experience the links are there and there's no error, the page just comes up empty. Happens to me quite frequently - right now on "World Competitions / Calendar" for example, nothing coming up on a Mac, tried with two different browsers, working fine on my phone.

I can see Calendar right now. My guess is it is a Mac thing as people that I know who say they don't see anything are on Mac. But half the IFSC people use Mac's. So I don't know.

Nope, had the same problem Friday afternoon on my Windows laptop at work. And the calendar page is loading fine now on my Mac, just like it wasn't three hours ago.

Just noticed that the IFSC calendar no longer lists the Amsterdam or Mumbai WC's. Six events means the overall winner will be decided from their five best results.

Shame about Amsterdam, that could've been a great weekend of comps and tulips.

I have just been told by someone who makes Marvin look a bit dense, that maybe the problem is http vs https :-)

Mumbai's (back?) on the list - 24th & 25th June.


Anyone going to nail some predictions to the mast?

Anyone know what the deal with Munich is? It's showing in the IFSC calendar as European championships (B) and World cup (B) on the same weekend.

Can't be both Shirley.

Starter lists are up:
http://www.ifsc-climbing.org/index.php/world-competition/calendar#!type=starters&comp=6158

No Pooch?  :boohoo: Thought she was mended now.
JarJar and MM could put some pressure on Shauna. Interesting to see how Leah does this year too.

Very strong men's field - and some surprises too; Daniel Woods? Only because he's in the area, or is he doing the season? Tyler too :D

If Janja improves (even a little) at reading the boulders (and she attends the events) I think she'll smash Shauna.

MM didn’t look as awesome in the ABS Nationals a few weeks ago as she did in last year’s World Cup. Perhaps just not peaked though.

Also, the other channel seems to think Anna Stöhr is doing the full series again this year. True?

Not sure I agree with you. She seemed to lack the raw power required for some of the boulder problems. And whilst she could flex her way through some of them, I don't think she'll be quite up there.
Compounded with the stoopid 4-minute cap which will possibly (likely?) lead to more dynamic/thuggy problems to get more attempts rather than slow technical routes, I don't see this working in her favour.

Dunno about this. I watched her in the semis ofwhatever round last year. She looked miles stronger than the rest of the field, crushing moves that other top women struggled on. Then in the finals she looked weaker, so I suspect it was more of a fatigue  thing than lack of strength.

It seemed to me that all she did wrong in the finals was misread things that others read well.
I suspect she has more comp endurance than any of them, I'd struggle to justify that with anything empirical though, it just never seemed to me as she was tired at all at any point I've watched her.
Also she was an absolute freak at BIFF 2016.
