For combined rather than individual - is the setting for lead and Boulder a bit softer - knowing they’re going to have to do all three?
That was to qualify for qualifying. Which is just to qualify for finals. Which is just to qualify for Olympic qualifying. Which is just to qualify for Olympic finals. Which is just qualifying for The Greater Ranges. Got it?
Bosi 6th, Molly 7th.Appears ranking is not based on best time so if you lose yr first race the best you can do is 5th, which is pretty much going to put you out of contention unless you're Ondra...Speed is so shit. Is Mollys height a big disadvantage? She looks to be very stretched on some of the moves, and her times seem well down even on other non specialists.
Aaaaaaand another coordination dyno. Pretty sure Molly's the shortest in the field by a bit, but this looks pretty hard on her.
Big ups to Staša Gejo for the chalk up whilst catching combination dyno!
Great final in the men’s lead....But there’s a few things with the system that are shite. In both men’s and women’s the best speed climber (specialist I guess) made it into the finals - and was shit in both boulder and lead. It looked really lame... Also - the multiplier system meant - I think - that Sasha was in first overall (1 point) with the Russian second (2) but when they both got bumped down to 2nd and 3rd that mean the Russian guy was then first over all... stupid system...

Never heard of Yuval before but he is extremely entertaining to watch.I think whenever you're combining disciplines there is bound to be some weird maths going on in the scoring. Is there a better system, what do they use in track and field for eg? Hopefully all of these issues will be solved after this Olympics, I think in the subsequent one there will be seperate medals for each discipline? Or is it just seperate medals for speed and lead/boulder?
Whatever happened with the WADA ban in Russia is sport? From a quick Google I can't quite understand how Russia was even at this event? Looked like team kit etc rather than competing as an "individual" or whatever..
