CWIF 2016
March 04, 2016, 04:48:13 pm
Looks a good line-up this year - should make for a great comp.

Gutted can't make it (again...ever...) but hope it's streamed live.

Male title up for grabs as no Megos to defend his crown. Strong competition for Dave Barrans from Webb, McColl, Verhoeven and Hojer.

Competition for Shauna from Le Neve, Tracey, Crane, Merrick, Klinger. 
None of the regular IFSC ladies though? Pooch, Mascarenas, Garnbret, Akiyo etc?

Apparently Ty is coming too and is supposed to be in amazing shape. Yep the women's isn't such a strong field, which is a shame. The semis / finals are being streamed. Should be a great event as always  :2thumbsup:

Seeing as The Dave Parry is better than Megos, can he go in as defending champ?

What three of them have in common is not being based in Europe, so perhaps not wanting to run up hefty travel costs for anything short of a world cup round.

Rumour has it Britain's Strongest Fisherman (or is that Britain's Fishiest Climber?) is entering.

He probably won't turn up. Some excuse about last minute pond conditions being too good.

Place your bets!

Men: Webb, Hojer, McColl
Women: Coxsey, Tracy, someone Swiss?

I reckon the final will be uber comp style with some ridiculous compression, plus they'll throw in something weird of course. A flared offwidth please  :P

Depends on the setting, but if there are some coordination jumps McColl or Hojer wins

There'll be everything. It's the 10th anniversary so I expect Percy and his team will be pulling out the stops.

but i thought they only opened at the end of 2006, so would it not be 10th comp, rather than anniversary

not being a pedant, i just remember those early comps very fondly

Dunno Sam said it was the 10th so I guess 10th CWIF, hence the big prize fund and cast of wads

Let's not forget the first one was the CWIM. Don't know why that didn't catch on.

Fantastic, no mention of Tyler or Eric Shun the strong Spanish guy both of whom have climbed 8C. Pretty strong field then :o

The big guys got schooled CWIF style! Didn't see much of Rustam but watched McColl do around half a dozen problems. Similar to Megos he's basically amazing at absolutely everything (hence a score of 297)!
