Perhaps you already went to that page and were distracted by the surreally irrelevant picture of a rainy day hillwalker.

...picture of a rainy day...

It rained quite heavily in Sheffield on both days of the competition.

Yes, weird picture.

Should be replaced with this one...

I managed to catch the last two problems of the final - never watched a comp before - it was a bit boring to begin with plus I couldn't really see much of the action because the scaffolding was in the way (who's idea was it to put sheets of tarp around the pillars!?!) Thought the last problem for the men and the women were good value though.

Gutted for Michaela she just seemed to be lacking that usual fiery determination and laser focus. Oh well its no World Cup.

Performance of the comp was Nathan Phillips on M4 worked out the best way to do that wild dyno quickly and absolutely styled it.

Watched some of the livestream on replay last night as the other half was upset she'd missed it (working). It had some good shots and some good commentary. I will just add a little criticism though in the hope that someone might be reading: for me, one of the best moments of the comp, was Shauna dynoing W4 along with the build-up. The cameras missed it because they were filming people giving high fives. Another really nice move was Dave B doing a graceful leg-swinging hop across the no-hands traverse. The cameras missed it in preference of showing us Michaela standing on the mat doing nothing.

Some of the same stuff happens on the World circuit - and I think the BBCs had much better filiming than some of the Worlds.

Could any more be done in advance to get film crews to focus on the action?

In fairness it must be a tricky job. You only have so many cameras, and you can't always know where somebody is about to do something exciting. Otoh if only one climber is on the wall, then where to point the camera should be pretty clear.

Note how the broadcast TV professionals in Tokyo, with presumably way more resources than usual for these events, still insisted on having only one climber at a time in the final.

Surely its the producer who's deciding which camera feed goes onto the livestream? seems it shouldn't be too hard to ensure there's at least one camera on each climber, and to switch as soon as someone falls off. TBH the most annoying thing for me was the massive score updates that covered the whole screen for the first 30 seconds of every new rotation, and the massive tweet nonsense doing the same at random intervals.

All that said, I thought it was really well done, at least as good as any WC I've watched.

I thought it miles better than any WC coverage - you got a real sense of being there/being involved. The twitter stuff may grate but the event was trending in the UK at #4 at one point. That's as big a deal as Ron Burgundy

As I said on Facebook, I agree. As a whole the coverage made the IFSC's effort look completely amateurish. Sure, there were some moments were mat standing was on the screen rather than climbing footage but as an early effort it was a really good one.

Having commentators that both knew the competitors and comps meant that they were talking sense and often pointing out things like the 'orange' herring foothold etc.

People searching #bbc were getting a bit of shock I was told at the crag on Sat.

Yeah, no problem with it, just didn't need to cover half the screen and obscure the climbers. Same with the score updates - could easily have shown mens and womens on the same screen = half the time with the climbing obscured.

Some kind of scrolling F1 scoreboard might work?
