Gutted for Raboutou, feel like some of the setting didn't suit her being so small tbh.

She obviously didn't expect to get too far herself - she was the only one not to bother bringing out a pair of binoculars.

Apologies if this has already been asked and answered but how hard are the men's and women's lead routes? I can't find any reference to the exact grades.
Anyone know what the hardest outdoor boulders and leads she's done?
Janja gets the Imperial Death March as her entrance music 🤣
Have to say among all the non-medalist Insta posts, Ondra's is standout as veering very close to sour grapes. He's obviously an incredible climber, but on the day he was captain average, despite the speed gift. Disappointing.
Speed climbing should be combined with BMX, surfing, skateboarding and breakdancing for a post-modern pentathlon.
Have to say though, found the bouldering a little dull - for non-climbing audience, proper snore-fest - 1 hour of people failing to climbing anything (except Janja). Shame, as the rest of the setting was fantastic, but then if you set for "everyone except Janja", not sure it helps anyone.

Not written by Adam, but hopefully he has oversight and should suggest it gets taken down. It's super-salty, and paints him as a bad loser.
Nah, love a bit of aggro. It's a competition, and all the best competitions involve rivalry and sour grapes. Especially when there is a very clear issue around the scoring and how the "winner and other medalists" were chosen. All the lovely posts on social media about how well everyone did etc. are frankly a bit boring if you ask me! Not that I disagree that he was a bit average (for Ondra), and wouldn't really have deserved a medal if he'd got one (but then again just as Gines-Lopez, if we're being honest, didn't really deserve the gold).
