It's pretty standard stuff from him tbf. He's not competed much in recent years, he just does what he needs to qualify for stuff, or get a little practice before the big comp. I wouldn't be at all surprised if his first comp of the season is OQS Shanghai, he can spend more time on rock or training, and then leverage his vast experience of comps when the time comes. The main reason we see others compete more (even if it's not strictly necessary for qualification) is just because they love comps - Adam clearly has passion for other avenues so he might as well pursue them at any opportunity.
It's a shame he probably won't get the Olympic gold to pretty much complete climbing as a sport. If it had been in for Rio 2016, he'd probably have won it. As it is, it's come a bit too late, the style has moved probably slightly too far away from his strengths. I really struggle to see him getting past all of the current crop of all-rounders like Sorato and Toby. Even
