GB will get 6 men's spots next year? Didn't think there was a limit on that so not sure i'm understanding correctly - eg Japan seem to always have tonnes of climbers, I figured it was just up to each federation as to how many athletes they send

Is the app correct or am I just too dumb to understand it.How is Brooke 5= with 4T5Z when Mia Aoyagi and Jessie Pilz are in 11= with 5T5Z?
Looks like Mejdi hasn't made semis, so 4th is almost in the bag
Ah! That makes sense.I guess the answer to the first question was "Too dumb...."!

And then there are the Extra Quota athletes, who are the top 10 from the previous years World Cup Ranking. JPN had 3 men in the Top 10 from 2021 so they get a quota of 8 for the men this year.
Sounds like its all gonna kick off after Alex W's insta-gripe. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHNs7-jRb3/
Beaten to it.
I've not looked into the figures, but it strikes me that Fujii is the best qualifier/semi finalist out of anyone on the circuit currently, but doesn't always manage it in finals.
Interestingly the co-commentator (didn't catch his name) said that Kokoro is known to struggle with nerves. Ties in to and supports my hypothesis from a few months back!

Tomoa (probably considered the most successful male boulder) has 5 golds in WC and 2 in WCHKokoro (reckoned to be a bag of nerves in finals) has 5 golds in WC and 1 in WCH
