If they must have separate combined and individual events, I would have gone for the individual events one weekend and the combined on the following weekend. My preference would have been to sack off the idea of a European Championships and the individual events and just had a combined Olympic qualifying event.

The lead isn't going to take too much of a toll, it's the bouldering that does the skin damage.

Live on russia climbing yt. Both looking good in the bouldering so far.

Looks like no Olympics for Jernej unless he does something unexpected in lead...

[tomtom]

From what I can see - after Speed and Bouldering, Will is 1st, Molly 14th. (10.5 and 94 points respectively..)

But its in Russian so I am probably missing something.

edit: Despite Molly getting 4 tops in bouldering - she ended up 6th in bouldering hence a big multiplier for her speed performance (14th?). Will was joint 1st in Bouldering and 7th in Speed...

[Duma]

Actually I take the jernej comment
 back, hadn't seen how good his speed run was.

[gme]

Jernej can still qualify but he needs to win the lead 2nd maybe gets in 3rd hes out.

As long as will gets top 10 i think hes in.

[Duma]

Good to see staja back on form, she didn't seem to be saving energy in the individuals but who knows?

Any idea what time the lead finals are Duma?

Tight for Molly, going to need a top 2 finish maybe 3 to get through unless other people fall early. Shes capable of it though and i guess her favorite discipline.

Not sure what her normal speed is but looks like she needs to work on that for the future.

The english version is on the IFSC channel.

Shame the bouldering was a bit easy. Great effort by Will and Molly!

[Wil]

16th or higher by my calculations, so very doable for him.

1st or 2nd for Molly guarantees her a place in the final. 3rd is probably good enough, 4th and 5th depend much more on other results, but are possible. Any lower and she's out. So it's in reach for her too.

[Duma]

Missing that Egyptian made it a bit tight for bosi!

Jernej out, shame not to have him for the Olympics. Sounds like from

[Duma]

Nail biter for molly too

[gme]

Molly through i think

[tomtom]

Overall. Molly 5th. Will 3rd.

Excellent! (I think it means they both qualify for finals!!)

[lagerstarfish]

top 8 go through 

and have to do it all again tomorrow 

[gme]

Both through to finals

Will looks like he has a genuine chance tomorrow. Lead is normally his best discipline but he messed up today. Keep his speed and boulder results up tomorrow and have a normal lead day and it will be close.

Harder for Molly but i dont know if that was just a bad speed day.

[Duma]

Yup, both through ok in the end.
Anyone know what happened to Victoriia Meshkova?? Was there a foul?

Think the scoreboard at the end of the stream wasn't updated fully. Meshkova is through, Molly bumped down to 6th.
IFSC site has official results

Both qualified for the combined (Will in 8th, Molly in 10th) so still in with a (slim) chance.

If I were in their position, I'd recognise that I had a few days of competing before the "real" qualification actually starts. They need to complete all the 3 individual events to get into the combined qualification, but could probably do just enough to make sure they're on the start list. 3 rounds of bouldering, 4 (?) lead routes and a few runs up the speed wall will take it's toll - particularly the bouldering I'd have thought. Arriving at the combined qualifications without being totally battered would seem to be the best way to get the Olympic slot. Who knows if that's what they're doing (or if that's what others are doing), but I'm not sure the qualification position will be the best guide.

That's what a few people did, they dropped out of Lead after the quals claiming little niggles

Chloe and Alma
Alexei and Sergei

I'm so confused. I thought the individual events earlier in the week was the qualifying bit??

(I don't usually follow comp climbing)

And how do you get 20 people for the OQE, you need some qualification pathway.

[abarro81]

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?
