Jesus, things are like dental floss. hopefully only worn in events, wouldn't want to fall in that too many times, like falling on cheese wire.

Holly Toothill just missing out on semis (21st by one attempt).

Oriane Bertone well out, interesting how her season has gone after an exceptional start.
Two Russians both in top ten, definitely seem to do well at home.

Ta.

Looks like 3 brits in top 20; Hamish McArthur, Nathan Philips, Billy Ridal.

Great return for GB men, given the pretty reasonable quality of the field.

Jan Hojer outside even top 40 is a bit bizarre, but form has been hard to judge this year.

IFSC OFFICIAL STATEMENT

The International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) would like to deeply apologise to Johanna Farber, Austria Climbing, all the athletes, and the Sport Climbing community for the images that were broadcast today during the women's Boulder semi-final at the IFSC Climbing World Championships Moscow 2021.

The IFSC condemns the objectification of the human body and will take immediate action in order for it to stop, and to protect the athletes.

After meeting with representatives of the Austrian team, IFSC President Marco Scolaris issued the following comment: ''How many times will things have to be done wrong, before we learn how to do them right?''

Didn't we already have something like this this season? I haven't seen it, don't know the details, but sounds like the incident when the camera kept focusing on women's short shorts. Really poor if this is the same again


Edit:: went back through the thread, it was Innsbruck

Edit: Found this:
The host broadcaster, ORF, showed a slow-motion sequence lasting around five seconds zooming in on chalk handprints on the backside of home climber Johanna Färber while she took part in the women’s bouldering semi-final.

Poor Johanna, whatever it is, it involves her again

It was a very similar incident to last time with a slow mo shot of a ladies chalky shorts. The commentators handled it well, with apologies etc., and did say they don't control the footage that is broadcast.
I'd hope the IFSC could control this kind of thing from happening again, but clearly they can't?

[edshakey]

Where the fuck do they find these camera operators? As much as I am critical of IFSC for the quality of coverage over recent years, they shouldn't need to make extra effort to prevent objectifying pictures - that should be well within bare minimum for what you expect for professional TV crew. I don't know what IFSC could do other than ask all camera operators if they had any overtly inappropriate shots planned! Completely ridiculous that it's managed to happen twice in a season

Video is private/removed now, so can't help you there i'm afraid.

I imagine they will reupload an edited version? Think that's what happened with Innsbruck

[Duma]

This won't help you fiend, but I think it's on Jan hikers IG stories

[Bradders]

Rachel Carr put it on her IG story and it's as bad as it sounds.

An edited short of just the pervy camera-work?? Sheesh, I might have actually wanted to see a bit of the semis climbing too

On a positive note, Andrea Kumin on W1!

enjoyed that, good psyche while on the home board. Natalia obvs was the deserved winner, but Camilla was the star for sure. Bit gutted for Stasa when she dropped the top of W3, but it didn't make a difference in the end anyway.
