Is this series of bouldering comps a bit more intense than usual? having 2 or more on back to back weekend must be knackering if you have gone to finals each time. And intend doing the lead comp.
Just seen this:https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cs_Td9Ora5S/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Was that the intended beta? Outrageous!
I was just reading this topic followed by the cordless fan one and it got me wondering. Is there any rule on using fans at IFSC competitions? If not then why doesn't every athlete have a fan with then for in between every attempt?
Today I learned that it is apparently ok to toe- or heelhook the rope below the last draw clipped to stop the swing. I know quite a few routes where this help.
I cannot read their minds so I don't know if it was on purpose.
I'm clearly missing something here, presumably this was during the women's finals route in Villars? Having watched it I can't see even a hint of anything controversial. Around move 25/26 Janja got her leg caught behind the rope but it didn't look to help her at all, if anything it looked like a hindrance! There were a few times for various competitors where it looked like they were being short-roped, and Brooke had to pull through slack at least twice, but again this seems more a hindrance. What am I missing?
