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

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.

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

She seemed to lack the raw power required for some of the boulder problems. 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.
