Headpoint (first practice round)
Outside the Olympic village at Mizugaki on Saturday tbc ;D
 
Does anyone know if there is TV/internet coverage anywhere? I thought it was on Eurosport but not showing up in the schedules for today at least . . .
 
The guide on my TiVo box shows "Live Olympic Sport Climbing" on Eurosport 2 from 11:30 hrs to 14:40 hrs. Caveat emptor mind you, so far the guide seems to have shown little resemblance to what's shown.
 
For those holding their nose and paying for the Discovery+ subscription you can get the £4.99 version for all the coverage. Cancel the subscription immediately after and you'll still have access for the month but it won't auto-renew.
 
Anyone made the video work yet? On the app it just says "this video is not available at this time" or something similar, despite it being on the watch now section...

I have heard that the app is garbage, but the website is working fine for me.

one of the good things about the stream is the option to choose between having commentary and listening to the ambient sound in the stadium (much better imo)
 
Getting angry at the speed format again. I don’t mind speed being part of the games, but it seems crazy that the draw determines the placings.

Jakob and Jan would have won most of the heats but they had the misfortune to be drawn against speed climbers and now can’t finish better than 10th…

I got Disney+ first by accident :slap:

Paid full price for both.
 
It's as if the IOC don't want anybody to watch it. Are they doing a squash and token sticking it in for one games to quash the moaning?

i think placings in speed qualifier are determined just by timing? not sure how the finals will work

Really? It’s not based on the time they get? Crazy if so!

No, in the qualifiers in Tokyo it is purely down to time. You have two runs and the slower time is discarded. It's only head to head in the final.
I'm impressed with the speed of some of the non specialists, they have virtually caught up.
