IFSC 2021
April 16, 2021, 01:12:25 pm


Semis and finals in Meiringen tomorrow in the first real international competition in over a year. The men's qualifier has just taken place and the women's is on its way. The qualifiers are streamed from a mounted cell phone showing all ten boulders at the same time, with bilingual german & french commentary (apparently the organisers are not allowed to stream in English as per the contract with IFSC)

Thanks.

I watched about 30 seconds of the mens qualification round, and just couldn't get it into it because of the wide filming angle covering all boulders. Seems such a shame.

Makes me realise how good the filming and live streaming of climbing comps as come on recently, until this one.

The early rounds are shown here:

Well, Domen's new home wall seems to have done the trick...

Jakob not making semis biggest shock? Nothing really a shock after a year in limbo for everyone I guess.

There's been a fair few comps in AUT so Jakob shouldn't be rusty.

Well yeah, he was someone I kind of thought would hit the ground running.

I think it just goes to show how strong the competition is nowadays. Apart from Tomoa Narasaki and maybe Adam Ondra, no one is guaranteed a place in the semis.

Really good semis I thought.
Shame to see Jernej out on attempts, especially when he flashed a boulder and Kokoro didn't.
Good to see Adam looking strong.
Janja still different class.
Akiyo still defying time.
Oriane still looks like the next big thing.
I guess they have to set something like W3 for Janja to show how much better she is, but it's wasted really, one zone from the rest of the field - everyone else is being split on 3 boulders.

Enjoyable watching, whilst doing elbow rehab. Good to see a crack problem, but less balancey slabs please!

I thought the commentary was acceptable overall, I liked the different co commentators (not terrible and not amazing).

Makes me want to go climb! Bring on the final.

Nothing really. Up above somebody was saying they were surprised he had not done better and there was a little discussion about wether he would have hit the ground running better. Turns out he only missed semis by 1 attempt thus attempts to read too much into his no progression are somewhat not needed as he was superclose to getting to semis thus not climbing that shit really..

Yeah that was me. I'd say for someone of Jakob's level not making semis by any margin is underperforming, though as I mentioned, with covid there's a big wild card.

Glad we've got Stasa as Co commentator, she's always been my favourite for that

Thought Jakob was quite good for the semis. Offered some nice little insights at times.

Fuck yeah! If Adam doesn't win the Olympics it will be a fucking travesty.
