Its being streamed live on IFSC page. No commentary or scores so not much idea of what is happening.

Women's lead at minute.

Who are the BBC commentators? Think I recognise Matt Groom's voice but who's the lass? Quite useful to know who they are so there's some context to their chat.

Cool, cheers Sherlock! Was it my imagination or does she have a vaguely Scottish accent?

Spoilers re mens's bouldering final

NSFW  :
I thought the mens' bouldering final was a let down.  No one did anything on P1 and only one zone on P4, which didn't really matter.  So the medal positions were determined by numbers of attempts on P2 and P3.  All rather unsatisfying - especially P4 - it was set up for a shoot-out and comprised 10 minutes of all but one competitor repeatedly fail to do the first move!  I wonder if it was a conditions issue? Was the hold set very conditions dependent and the problems set when it was much cooler / less humid? 

I just hope today's mens' lead and women's bouldering offer more sustained drama

Semis were even worse, pretty much entirely decided on one problem.

Even accepting that setting for these comps/competitors is near impossible i agree with Moose & Duma on this one, It was a bit of a let down.

Was the setting team different that the usual IFSC World cup make up?
some other factor? or just a bad couple of days?

Yeah wasn't great. Remi is a flipping awesome setter but sadly didn't pan out on this one. Women's semis round seems a lot better bar one nuts boulder.

Agree on the mens bouldering, however thought the womens lead final route was excellent, impressive to watch with exciting looking climbing but also good separation and despite the fairly obvious outcome (does that count as a spoiler?) got to see everyone try hard.  Last fall could have been nasty though.

It was a great lead final, amazing route, and a scary fall!

There's some great pictures of the fall and the scared face (of the winner) in this collection of images on IG:

Any idea why Hamish is DNS in the lead semi.

Ievgeniia Kazbekova had food poisoning (hence her lead final result) maybe Hamish ate at the same place?

Thought all the lead rounds were excellent, impressive wall and setting gave some great looking moves without it feeling too gimmicky.

Women's boulder finals good too

Spoilers:
NSFW  :
after W1, when everyone else got further, I thought we might even have an upset! Obvs she  then casually outclassed everyone on the other problems.
Thought Gibert was a bit unlucky to finish 6th after being the only one apart from JG to get the bonus on W2, and finding a great sequence on W4, but you can't afford to miss the "easy" problem, and messing up the start position on W4 twice is pretty slack.
Didn't affect the medals, but my favourite moment was Chloe beating the buzzer on W3, esp after that horrible fall.

I think by listing all those moments, you showed how much of a better final it was than the men's boulder. It's only been a day or so and already I can hardly remember the boulders. I thought the Lead has been consistently great all around and agree on the crowd and hell, even the mascot felt like a good thing and worth it alone for that picture of Ondra banging a squirrel's drum.

Is there a list of finalists anywhere? Can't see it on the app or website but all the qualifiers are done so it should be possible to find out (although I'm not bothered enough to do the calculations myself)
