Is it me or are the cameras a bit poorer quality than usual?

Are you just set on a lower quality setting on youtube?

Commentators did mention one of the cameras getting a lot of chalk blown on to it?

Jan Hojer on P1, bloody hell. :o

Not bad eh!
Bit soft for the ladies so far, makes up for the semis.

Brilliant result for Shauna - Silver
But particularly brilliant for her in the rankings since it was such an awful one for Anna.
Just a little more of this solid consistency (and no broken legs) and she'll be numero uno lady 2014.

Another good comp, though I thought that for the women especially the semis were better than the finals. Probably because the problems were harder.

Yeah, good setting for the men, great watching, went up to the line, and the mens and womens last problems were both good, but the first 3 F were just too easy. I'm sure it's a difficult balance to get though. Good to see Akiyo get gold - well deserved win from another consistently impressive climber.

  • Largely broken. Obsolete spares and scrap only.

Miho is the one to watch. Strong and steady, very young but rising rapidly from nowhere.

Well worth staying up late for! Akiyo was super impressive... Hoping Shauna can continue with her impressive form and keep Akiyo off her back!!

Probably just Diurnal and non- vampiric.

Are you insinuating that there's something wrong with not having a reflection? It'll be garlic and crosses next, they don't work you know.

Urgh, stand in commentator: did not like.
Everything else was top. Bit nervous the women's was going to count back but excellent last problem.
Good to see Pooch back on form and great to see Akiyo get a gold (her first ever?).

Jan is a beast, but think M2 and M1 were pretty morpho.

Will be interesting to see the non-regular yanks in Vail next week.

The thing that struck me was that it didn't look like Shauna knew how to fist bump, she looked terribly British! I thought she was going to leave the MC hanging.

No. Something like her 14th.

It's just that even though she has still been climbing really well lately, she hasn't won one since Aug 2012.

Just watched it, very good, some real nice moments in there. Chon on the ball mantle, Shauna's figure 4, and Miho in general  :wub: Not one for those afraid of volume weirdness problems though, jeez!

Woods, Landman, and Kassay fail to qualify for semis in Vail. Girls climbing now.
